Just take the tube (underground) to Tottenham Court Road tube station. The cost will be about 290 pounds plus VAT (value-added tax), i.e. about 330 pounds total. Thats about $600 U.S., so you may find it cheaper to buy it from a U.S. mail order company and get it shipped over.

More info on buying an HP48sx in London - if its bought from Eurocalc at the Sonic photo centre in Tottenham Court road, or Selfridges in Oxford street, then your parents should obtain a VAT reclaim from the shop. This'll let them get the tax back. The HP48sx is priced at 287 pounds excluding VAT.

Just take the tube (underground) to Tottenham Court Road tube station. A general word of warning. Don't buy anything in Tottenham Court Road if you plan to take it back to the shop if it goes wrong. The quality of service from the shops in this road is legendary. Selfridges on Oxford Street (Bond St tube) does stock the 48SX, it *may* cost a little more but they are much more reasonable to deal with. -- Neil Faulks ..!ukc!kcl-cs!neil neil%cs.kcl.ac.uk
