My attempts at reaching my contact in Hong Kong have not been very fruitful and I have little time to exert more of an effort. For those who are still interested here's what I know: Mac China costs about HK$1000 = US$128 Using its own screen fonts it changes all text on the screen to Chinese characters. I am not sure whether these were simplified or traditional since I only had a passing glance at the screen. But the changes are everywhere: menu bar, window names, menu choices, file names etc. I believe you can also do word processing with the package as well. For more information contact: Kenny Wan of ACTRON Consultant co. 21-22 1/F Wonder Building 161-175 Fuk Wah St. Sham Shui Po, Kowloon Hong Kong Tel: (852)3-7256263 Fax: (852)3-725-0105 Kenny is quite used to handling orders from abroad. His English is pretty good but if you're calling and you can speak Cantonese I'd advise you to do so. My advice is to write/fax him for the specs of the package. Hopefully he will be able to get these to you pretty quickly. NB: Kenny's merchandise is a mix-up of legitimate/pirated software as some of you may have guessed by the address of his store. I have no idea whether he is selling a copy or the original of Mac China but I figure you should be warned that there is the possibility that he may only be selling the copy. Whether you choose to buy it or not is your responsibility. I'm only posting this info because there seemed to be so much interest. Chris Lye
