Jim - I agree about the possible misunderstanding that a reader could take from this - but I don't think you are disagreeing with the author, just asking for a little clarification. In that case, why not make a change yourself? I've noticed several minor amendments and clarifications have been made by various people on the stuff I've written, and I'm delighted to see it! BTW, GBP75 = US$135 approx (today!). And yes, I agree that as a general rule US$ is the appropriate universal currency to use...
