All,

A few people have reacted strongly to my comment that it seemed crazy to
order from Austrailia.  Please accept my apology as no offence was intended
and I have no xenophobic tendencies.  Actually, a distant relative of mine,
Sir Douglas Mawson, is depicted on the Australian $50 note!

Maybe 'crazy' was too strong a word but just because I was looking for a
supplier in the USA, doesn't exactly amount to cultural imperialism which
one person accused me of!  If there was something you wanted to buy,
wouldn't you see if you see if you could buy it locally first?  What if you
needed to return it? How much is postage from Australia?  Are there duties
to pay? etc. etc.

FYI, I've e-mailed bitscope to ask details about ordering from them.

Peace?

Ted Mawson
