The Canadian Dollare has disappeared from the currency converter after I updated the rates the other night, i've updated the rates twice more, and still no Canadian Dollar, like, I know american's don't think we use real money, but this is getting a bit ridiculous

Anyone else having this problem?

P.S. Don't forget, your .Mac membership will expire by Oct. 14th !!! Currently, we are offering it for the discount price of 43 Molson's if you act today. That's a savings of nearly 4 Molson's !! Hurry, this offer won't last long.

Crap. Calculate likes to lock up for 30 seconds while it's updating the rates, so now I'm stuck with using a site like www.xe.com
