| 1087.2 | Israeli Cycling Team is in Colorado Springs | ALEXI::MANDRACCIA | | Fri Jun 28 1991 07:07 | 8 |
| The Israreli Cycling team arrived in Colorado Springs this evening.
It took them 24 hours to get here, but they are in good spirits and
eager to start training at altitude. They are getting a good nights
rest tonight and will get started tomorrow. I am very much looking
forward to spending time with them and making sure their visit here
is a good one.

| 1087.3 | TV/VCR Format question. | ALEXI::MANDRACCIA | | Mon Jul 08 1991 07:48 | 8 |

A couple of the boys are interested in camcorders, but I have
discouraged them so far. The problem is the format used in the
US is called NTSC, in Europe a fromat called PAL is used. Does
anyone know what format is used in Israel?
Thanks
Steve

| Camcoders are on the top of the list of items the Israeli tax officers are
looking for at Ben-Gurion airport. The import tax on this item is at
least 100%.

And that's exactly why the young lads are interested in buying
them :-)

Which is why they will have to pay the tax when they return to Israel. These
are not Duty-free items to returning Israelis.

unless, of course, they are practicioners of the ancient but florishing art of
"sneaking expensive things thru the green side of customs" :-) :-)

| I strongly recommend that it be pointed out to these boys that camcorders
bought in Colorado almost certainly will be incompatible with their parents'
televisions and other video equipment. This may help keep them (the boys, not
the camcorders) from getting into trouble with their parents and/or Israeli
Customs.

Thanks for the format information. I have pointed out that with the
PAL format used in Israel the camcorders purchased here will be
useless. The other deterent is cost; The camcorders sold in the US
with either PAL or multi format are about double in price to those
with NTSC format.
The four boys are getting along very well. They are starting to
adjust to the altitude difference. They were in a race last Sunday
for training and all four did very well staying with the field
which included pros. This coming Sunday is the Championship race.
