Linda, I believe you have done tremendous jobs on Japanese localized software for them to use. However, there is still plenty of software that hasn't been converted into Japanese. Usually, they have to tap into both languages to take full advantage of existing software. Well, I think a significant number of families in Japan who owned Mac but still were not using it as often as we are here due to culture and social differences and computer's complexity. However, the trend of using it is increasing due to Internet's comprehensive contents. I think iMac will catch this trend just in time and hence it will be getting extremely popular in part due to its simplicity and user- friendly features. I certainly believe Apple will be taking over IBM as #3 spot in Japan in the next six month as iMac started to hit the market as of yesterday. Phil
