What missing a day? I was talking about taking two hours on a firday morning to go see a movie and hear a lecture. maybe it's not the 20NIS, maybe people don't want to see the movie and a lecture. > By the way, what happens if only 6 people are interested - isn't it > possible to just view this movie in somebody's home on his VCR? Of course it is. I wanted to make it a Linux event kind of thing.

I doubt even high-budget > commercial movies cost as much to the cinemas. The quote I got is 2,000 NIS for two hours and this is after I lowered it down fro, 2,300. The 400$ for the movie is a special cheap price for a view for Linux freaks in Israel. In the US the prices is HIGHER and we only got this because I talked with the distributer which is an Israeli. BTW, this is for the beta tape version, the 33mm version costs MUCH more... Iif you can get any of the two any cheapr but all means do, but I don't hold my breath. > > > -- > Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, May 28 2002, 17 Sivan 5762 > [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- > Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |As far as we know, our computer has never > http://nadav.harel.org.il |had an undetected error. > > ================================================================= > To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with > the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command > echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- Gilad Ben-Yossef <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Code mangler, senior coffee drinker and VP SIGSEGV Qlusters ltd.
