I have been looking around in the Tokyo area for a MSDOS laptop pc with no\ luck. I am now considering mail-ordering a laptop from a U.S. mail-order computer company. I am leaning towards the laptop/notebooks from Zeos and am wondering if anyone out there has had any experiances with doing an international order from Zeos. What can I expect when doing an international mail-order from Japan? Will there be a heavy import tax/tariff on my pc or software order. Is there somekind of restrictions on the items that I can bring into Japan? When I was in the U.S. I noticed that some of the software packages had some sort of notice saying "Not for export". If I order, say Clipper 5.0 for example, will I get the U.S. version or an export-only version? Can anyone recommend a U.S. based mail-order company that has had a good record in shipping products for Japan ( or anywhere else outside the U.S.) Any advice or experiances would be helpful. Thanks, Jeff Danda
