A couple years ago, I worked with PBS/NOVA to make a show,
The CIA, the KGB, the Computer and Me.  Since its broadcast,
many people have asked me how to get a copy.

Sad news is that it costs $175 from some educational video
distribution company.  It's licensed only for distribution
to the "educational" community.

Why?  I dunno.  Everyone I ask refers me to someone else.  
Apparently, some Nova shows are available for home use,
others not.  Baffles me.  

Jus one of the mysteries of television production.
Film production is even less understandable, incidentally.
