IBM USA will not ship *anything* (that costs money) to a customer outside of the USA.

I'm in Toronto. It is very frustrating.  For example,  I got OS/2 1.2 six
months (!) after it was shipped in the states.  I got "devcon 9+"
at least a month after is shipped in the USA (people in the states got
devcon 10 before I got devcon 9+).  Version 10 came a lot quicker --I told
them not to ship to any USA developers before they shipped elsewhere, 
because it was an unfair advantage.
