 I left Utah in 1990.  I don't think I have heard anything about 
 Vietnamese class in Salt Lake City.

   Yes, I think we have a choice when we fall in love. That's why
   you choose the person you fall in love with. Otherwise, you ba. ai

   f course, you fall in love with a person you choose, but to be loved
   in return is another story. That's where it gets complicated...
   That's why there are so many sad song.....hu.. hu.

You said you read my posting as a whole but I serously doubt that you did.
Of course what I have written are my own opinions. Didn't you write yours, or 
they were someone else's opinion that you just repeating over and over again 
mindlessly.  I still don't understand why you cannot judge or contest someone's 
opinion. We don't do that anymore. It's OK now! There is no dictatorship here 
and you should learn to use your freedom.

Whether or not you want to take my opinion seriously is your right and I can live 
with it either way. The point I was trying to make was: If you contested other's 
opinion, do it with good thoughts and reasonings don't waste time on nitpickings.

There are many reasons for you to save much typing and reading and they 
have got nothing to do with me.

You know what? It could be. I get sick easily when I hear lies and wild
accusation. Some people are much more comfortable with it. As for being
tired, I never use the word in my posting. The fact that I am responding
to your posting indicate that I don't get tired easily. You too have a
nice holiday season.

Make the Yuletide gay
From now on our troubles will be miles away
Here we are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years we all will be together

Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

The previous vietterm package included the old font file vn9x15.bdf,
which use VISCII 1.0 instead of 1.1. Char O~ and a. is swapped between
these version. The correct font file now is included
in the current vietterm version on sonygate. The fonts package X.tar.Z 
should have all correct fonts.

For Windows 3.1, another set of TrueType fonts is being released, packaged as
vnfont2x.exe under tin/VN/WINDOWS. It includes 3 more fonts:

  Hi Kim,

 I'm feel better already. I'm glad to hear another netter sharing my
 view. I just wish we all should discuss in a constructive manner. Nothing
 wrong with voicing your opinion and listening to others without
 putting other people down. We can always disagree with one another but
 in the end we must use common sense to accept the truth.
    As for Newyear, I hope we use vietnet as a communication tool to
  learn from one another and to help bringing up the issues Which are
  important to Vietnamese community.

   Happy Holiday,

Dear netters,

  Over the past week or so, I received some interesting
informations that made me both happy and sad.  I am happy to see
that there are some Vietnamese who have learned from the past, yet
without holding on to the bitterness and hatred.  They are
focusing on the positives and bright future that could be for our
country.  I am very happy to know I am not alone.

  Yet... I am also sad to know there are still some who are doomed to
repeat history.  They can not learn from all the pains and sufferings
that we have suffered.  They wish to create more pain and sufferings
on our country.  All their life have been filled with hatred and they
can not seem to let go of that which they know best.  My heart is full
of sadness and pity for them.

  It is said that those who can adapt will grow and be stronger.  The
bamboo _knows_ to bend in the wind, so it survive and prosper.  So must
we, Vietnamese, learn to work with what we have and _bend_ (compromise)
if we wish to accomplish our goals.  The water _knows_ to flow around
an obstacle, and eventually it wears down even the biggest, hardest
mountain there is.

  I see so many Vietnamese who have not yet learn these age old
advice.  They wish to take on the communist government headon.
Failing that, they will attack and destroy all those who disagree
with them.  In the process, they have become very much like those
they _hated_ (they are now full of negative emotions -- hatred and
bitterness for a fellow Vietnamese).  I know that I will not change
your minds, but all I am asking is for you to think before you destroy
another.  Someday you may be surprised to find out that we are all
working for the same thing, toward the same goals -- that is to see
Vietnam once again prosperous, her people enjoying a happy life...
just using different methods.

  This is the season to be harmonious, to think of family and friends.
Enjoy this time... and I hope you will carry this loving feeling all
through the year.

  Best wishes to you all.

Regards,
Tin Le

Vietnam eases import ban on cars, consumer goods

    HANOI, Dec 21, Reuter - The Vietnamese government will allow state-owned
trading companies to import previously banned cars, motorbikes, cassette
radios, colour TV sets, electronic spare parts, electric fans and canned beer,
an official newspaper said.
    The English-language Saigon Newsreader quoted official newspapers as saying
the decree lifting a ban on these items was issued by Deputy Prime Minister
Phan Van Khai last week to stabilise prices and demand and increase state
revenues.
    The newspaper did not say what tariffs would be imposed on the imported
goods.
