The current exchange rate is about 1.6 U.S. dollar = 1. British pound. Therefore, the LCD version would cost about $2700, but if the same inversion of exchange rates occured in the posted cost (improbable, I fear), it would cost closer to $1000. The latter would be a lot more encouraging. Pat Palmer
