    (What's the pound this days?  $1.65?)


Well, no. For those of you who haven't noticed, the pound is at -> $1.95 <-
as of about last Friday, and has been continuing to rise steadily against 
the dollar over the past few months. This represents an increase of almost
25 percent in the exchange rate since January. I suspect that this is
squeezing the parts places rather badly, and that the cost of parts is
going to go through the roof pretty soon. Might be a real good time to buy
stuff you won't really need till next year?
