Well, having started to buy one I find that the only shipping option is $40=
.98 to the UK.  I found a UK distributor who clearly belives in the pound f=
or dollar ethos, charging =A350 for the 8 channel DI-148 ($50 from Dataq), =
and then have the cheek to charge another =A325 for delivery.  It would act=
ualy be somewhat cheaper to order from the US if it didn't get caught by cu=
stoms, but I have a history of being stung when it comes to US purchases.
