The dollar is at its lowest point since 2008 right now.

Gary, netbooks in Russia run from about 9000 r I think (for the acer with linux). I think I paid around 13,000 last summer for a lenovo netbook with Windows 7. Ukraine, I'm not sure.

When I was in Ukraine last time, we went to a local popular computer retailer and bought a netbook with a webcam. It cost the equivalent of 320 USD. This is a better solution in my opinion.

quite to the contrary.... easy find even in Kherson

That is good news. PM me with location. My wife and BFF are here telling me they are tough to find in Kherson (plug adaptors). She is taking an eloectronic picture frame with her for her parents. We will send the adaptor too, but just in case MIL needs one - let me know where.

I have been told Foxtrot (but have not seen them myself).

I have seen several "stores" in the central market (not the clothing area but the general merchandise area) that sell electrical items as well as the market near where our flat was (near Supermarket Ukraine)

YMMV

We have seen the shops also, but when Vika (and BFF for her parents laptop) looked specifically for these things, and couldn't find them. I assume they looked in the central market. Vika also said that you could probably find them in Kiev. Her cousins all live there, and say so (via skype two days ago), but never had to find the item.

To put that in perspective...Alla couldn't find her car keys yesterday.
