Subject: Info on Elami and QontoTo: tvj@inficad.com

  Hi there,
  I just wanted to add to William Norders comments on the Elami unit.
He is correct on the background info on the robot. However, his price
on how much they sell for MIB is very reserved. In the very few I've
seen, they have ranged anywhere from $90.00 to $180.00 loose, $250.00
to $450.00 MIB. In my opinion, I feel this is one the rarest personal
robots to come out of the 1980's. I say personal because it can be
programmed.

  Concerning your Qonto. This robot is from a 1978 Japanese film
called "Message From Space." The character is actually called "Tonto"
in Japanese.

              The Three Laws of Robotics

  1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow
 a human being to come to harm.

  2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where
 such orders would conflict with the First Law.

  3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection
 does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
