The lecture series was fine. A friend taped the talks and I tried to have them put on Nihontomessageboard. Unfortunately the quality was not good enough. The videos surpasses the audio tape in that there are images of what was on the screen during the talk. Some talks are better than others but all are worthwhile. I encourage you to listen to each of them when you have the time.
