I have volunteered to be a distributor of copies of Mato Hattori's tape 
of the "Robot Sumo Competition" held in Japan. Mato has sent a tape from 
which to make the copies.
 
These are available to US addresses in the following manner, at your option:
 
1. You send a tape and money to ship it back to you. The amount to send is
$3.34 if the tape is to be shipped to a residence, or $2.74 if it goes to
a business address. This cost is UPS's rate from Boston to Pittsburgh; I
can't be bothered to figure out an individual rate for shipment on each 
package. I'll be sending the tapes in padded envelopes at $0.48 each so the 
total shipping cost is $3.82 (home) or $3.22 (business).
 
2. You send me the money to buy a tape and send it to you. The tapes cost 
$2.65 each and shipment is as above, so total cost is $6.47 (home) or $5.87
(business).
 
3. Anyone local to the Cambridge, Ma area can drop by my office and take a
tape away for the $2.65 cost of the tape alone. Give me some notice so I have
a recorded one ready to go. No charge if you bring in a tape I can pass out 
to someone else! 
 
See below for the address to send requests to.
 
Fuji Software owns the copyright on the material, and they require that a 
receipt form be signed and mailed to them in Japan by each recipient of 
the tape; I'll be including this with each tape I send. If a copy of the 
receipt is included, you are allowed to re-copy the tape you receive, but 
no profit (beyond the cost of media and shipping) can be made. 
 
The tape was recorded for Japanese TV and is entirely in Japanese, without
subtitles. It runs 3.5 hours and I'll be recording the tapes accordingly, 
in EP mode.
