hie darrell... i would like to know before i buy the PBS channel video
tape...how long does mark tilden and his bots appear in the video(if it is
just a measly 5 minutes i dont think so it is worth it)...and other than
stryder what other new bots are shown operating....i am staying in singapore
and the channel i have is only discovery national geographic and such which
has a high possibility of showing it.....so i would like to know whats the
full name of PBS...thanks a lot
