In Japan, we have got information that Mac-minix is on the fleight to Japan.
We expect it is on the Pacific-ocean or Narita-airport, now.

Price of Mac-minix (and PC-version also) is \29,800 (w/o 3%-tax), and it may
be between $200 to $220 in US-currency.  Oversea prices (for all version of
minix-1.5) is $169 from PH.  We think $220 is reasonable price.
