<AOL>Me too ;-)</AOL>.  If any do make their way to England, I'd
be up for one too; would make a v.handy XTerm & generally cute toy :*).

I would guess that the power supply could probably be sorted relatively
easily.  A very quick browse of Maplin (shadow of their former selves that
they are) gives an 18V wall-wart switch mode PSU with order code PL65V for
15 quid.  There's probably a better match, but that ought to work I guess...
