Had to fight like hell to get in early this morning. Stupid DLJ direct said it was not trading. Had to use my full service broker...but well worth it. Good luck to all.

I agree with you. The Chinese market currently is on the ground-zero level in terms of technology. I'm really glad the company's Linux OS is pre-installed by Great Wall PCs, the 2nd largest PC makers in China who has IBM of China as a partner. Regarding Linux vs Windows issue, it is still hard to say, coz Bill Gates has visited China/hongkong in person to promote his products. But for me, I prefer using Linux. As far as the site is concerned, it is similar to other Linux sites in US, except you have to use Big5 decoder to view Chinese characters. That's all I have to say. -eH
