Well, all the details are finished, the last prices in, so now we get down 
to the nitty-gritty. The last price I was waiting for was the cost of a copy
of the artwork from Douglas Electronics, the company who made the original
boards for Fred Martin.   Unfortunately (for me) I omited to tell them not to
send it by the most expensive means they could find...the couriers charged
me US$70!!. I think by Air Mail it would have cost ~US$7 and that is all I
will put on the boards, I will wear the rest.

So to the total costs, this is the way it worked out:  ( in A$ )

      To convert to US$, A$8.00 * 0.73 = US$5.84ea.

Those of you who placed tentative orders for boards over the last few weeks,
if you would like to confirm your order by sending me the money I can start
to get things moving. I would like to place the order on 12th October, that
should be long enough for Air Mail from anywhere in the world to reach me. 
The boards will take less than 2 weeks to make so I should have dispatched 
them by the 26th October.
 Payment details: All payments, cheques or transfers, must be in
Australian Dollars, and for A$8.00 per board ordered plus A$5.65 to cover
postage and packing to you (outside Aus only). Payments can be made by cheque
or bank transfer, cheques should be sent to me at the address below on my
signature. 
If you prefer bank transfer, the bank details are:
		National Australia Bank
		University Branch
		Northfields Ave.               Branch No.  082-886
		Wollongong                     Account No. 03-811-0002
		N.S.W. 2500.
  Please also include your name and the word "PCB" so the accounts section
can identify it, put it in the right account and advise me.

If you have any queries or problems, please send me an Email.  

If you have not placed a tentative order but wish to buy some boards, please
notify me by Email first.

Cheers

Pete
