I saw that show when I lived in Japan and am under the impression that it 
is for foreign consumption, and the widest audience is likely to be reached
in English.  So it is probably for both native English speakers and  people
who speak English as a second language.

Also, someone asked about Karuna Shinsho.  I can't say much outside of 
saying that she was a pretty lackluster announcer who I believe had to 
go to Japan to get such work.  I also think that she doesn't speak any 
Japanese.  I came to that conclusion based on the way she pronounces
the few Japanese words that she has ever uttered, and the pronounciation
has been as awkward as mine.  Perhaps in the intervening years she picked
up a 'yoroshiku onegaishimasu' or 'toire wa doko desu ka' and a few 
other such phrases.  However, if anyone wanted to start a Karuna Shinsho
fan club, I would be glad to join %>.

I only use hterm (version?) on my NEC 9801 as it supports vt100.
Under DOS/V I run Telix 3.12 and it's OK. 

The only trick is that for Telix, the host machine must send 
in SHIFT-JIS as it doesn't know how to convert other forms of JIS.

How about hterm 2.6.0, will it convert from OLD-JIS, NEW-JIS?

HELP, HELP, HELP TO TOUCH EPSON PRINTER COMPANY.

I REPOST PREVIOUS ONE WITH EMAIL CORRECTION FROM DIFFERENT MACHINE.
----

---- REPOST ---

Two weeks ago my EPSON LQ 510 printer head lost one of the 24 pin.
I disassemble the head and found one pin was broken.
I called the nearest EPSON DELALER in south east USA and asked a replacement
for a pin but they said they could not sell only one pin but only
whole head and the cost was INCREDIBLELY $200.30- only just a head.
(Remember that EPSON LQ 570 costs around $250.00 by mail in USA)
Can you believe it? really rediculous!!.

If anyone can give me any phone number of EPSON AFTER SERVICE CENTER located
in Japan so that I can get the pin replacement, it will help me a lot.

If you can give me the phone number, I will make international call to 
Japan to get the pin. I believe that the cost will be still cheaper than 
findign the pin in USA. 
Please send email to me. Thank you

I need only ONE HEAD PIN OF EPSON LQ 510 PRINTER for replacement.

Thank you.

Yes. I read about it in an English paper and talked with people who
had read about it in Japanese papers where Bush is quoted as saying
about Quayle, "He has been a super vice presdent and he will be for
another four years."

VP takes on another meaning: "Good morning Mr. Vice Pota.. urrr, I

Well, don't know what to say about your experiences.  I deal with
yen<->dollar transactions all the time, and your experiences are so very
very far out of the ordinary that I'm wondering if you might be remembering
wrong. It was 18 months ago, you say.  When remembering buy rate = X
and sell rate == Y while some people report 1/X and 1/Y and some have
special fees and some have special fees but only on Tuesdays with a full
moon and some have cash prices and some have TC prices and some have CT
prices...... well, it can get confusing and easy to mix up......

I've never seen a place that gives better rates for cash over TCs. This goes
for every country I have ever visited with TCs (not a lot... various European
ones, NZ, Australia).  (I have heard, however, that certain airport exchange
counters in India accpet TC only from certain banks, though, but this is
off the point).

I realize that my experiences aren't exaustive (but sometimes they are
exausting :-), but I believe them to be representative for Japan.
Heck, one day last month I went to four banks in Kyoto (Kyoto Ginko,
Toukoyu Ginko, Fuji Ginko, Sakura Ginkou) checking out exchange rates and
fund transfer services.....

I did this when I went to France for a week last December.  When I got back,
I called my credit card company to find what I owed them and sent it in
right away.  My finance charges were very small (just two weeks worth) and,
as Mr. Eisenman has said, credit card companies do give reasonable exchange
rates.  It was a very good deal.

	I thought these were combined amounts of the first prize and the prizes
	for its contiguously preceding and following numbers.  
	Since many Japanese who buy lotttery tickets usually buy several sets of	ten tickets which are serially numbered, it's likely for a person to 
	hold the prize ticket and its neighboring tickets that might win extra
	prizes.
	So, if somebody buys ten 300 yen tickets and suppose he wins the first
	prize, it's likely for him to have either preceding-number prize or 
	following-number prize, or, to have both.  
	(first prize: 50 million yen, each of preceding/following-number prize:
	 25 million yen.     this person may have earned 100 million or 75 
	 million yen)

	Anybody has more precise information?

While not agreeing with Mr Lu's choice of words, the indignation about 
"someone who lived and died for their emporer" or "born and raised in respect
and unafraid to show it" is trivial nonsense. The Germans were born and
raised in respect, and unafraid to show it for the Fatherland, but that hardly
makes what they did worthy of respect.

"Unarmed country"? Hmm. Japan has one of the largest military budgets in the
world, and makes several weapons that the US would love to buy. Of course,
this is strictly forbidden by the Japanese Constitution (which also forbids
the existence of their military, an on-going debate in Japan), so it 
doesn't happen TOO often that Japan sells military equipement/technology to
China, the old USSR, Iraq (actually, not Japan, but large corporations).

Okay slim bucket, you got the response you wanted.  Why don't you go 
perform lewd acts with yourself.

You use the term "jap" and don't have the balls to leave a signature.  It's
jerk offs like yourself that keep things from ever correcting themselves.
You show no respect and therefore will get no respect.  Could it be that
you are ashamed of who you are.  

If you are Chinese and all Chinese think like you do, then it is little
wonder that Japan has never apologized. 
 
I invite you to come down here and call me a "jap" to my face.  We'll see
what kind of cowardly, stinking, sniveling worm you are.  I suppose though
that you will just crawl back into the cesspool you came from.

Well, lies exist in history books of just about every country.  Would
you hate them as much if the lies were about someone else?

It is ok to hate the history books, but if you hate the people, you

Here is my recent experience with coming to Japan
without any yen:

A Japanese friend gave me a ride from Narita to
Kawasaki and took me to a "business" hotel (Sun Royal).
They would not accept _any_ credit cards nor traveler's
cheques; if for my friend lending me Y10,000 on the
spot, I'd be stuck till the next day ;-).

So, get at least $200 exchanged to yen just in case.

If a large number of japs think in this way it is dangerous! For our chinese,

hterm 2.6.0 + IBM DOS/V J5.02 do it alright. I am running them on 
my Gateway2000 486DX/33 AT compatible. Of course you need not to 
have a 486; 386 + VGA is sufficient.
