I have many friends in the Boston area and the reputation of Boston Univ.'s
Communications/Media program *is* the one to choose from (in Boston area).
BU also have exchange agreements with Harvard Univ. (a few years ago, not sure 
if it is still this way) so you may also take some of your favourite class at 
Harvard as well.  Also, BU has library exchange programs with MIT, Harvard,
Tufts and Wellesley, so even BU's library is not very very big you may still
check books out from others.

Make sure you visit the campus before making the decision.

Usual disclaimer applies.

Well.  Windows 3.1 has also released some software that supports chinese.  The
Chinese Workshop is good example.  If you want some chinese fonts for windows,
the Top Fonts is a good choice.  You can size the characters to whatever you 
like without degrading the quality since it makes use of vector representation.

Besides, there are many many Chinese Desktop Publishers come from Taiwan which

AS RTHK duty editor Charles Keighley set off for home after his early
shift at Broadcast Drive he suddenly found himself caught in the
crossfire between the robbers and police.
 
   "A colleague and myself were driving down Waterloo Road towards the
Princess Margaret flyover when all hell broke loose," he said.
 
   "Suddenly there was a number of loud bangs as shots were fired.
Confusion reigned at the scene, cars swerved, people leapt from their
vehicles and along with pedestrians ran for cover.
 
   "It was like something out of the wild west as the firing continued
for what seemed like ages but for what was in reality only a matter of
minutes.
 
   "The exchange of shots between robbers and police occurred as
school children were returning home at the end of their morning lessons.
There was panic as people scattered in all directions near the Maryknoll
Convent School.
 
   "My own view was obscured by two buses parked directly in front of me
but like everyone else I dived for cover on the pavement.
 
   "After the shooting ended I saw one man taken from a taxi and led
away in handcuffs by armed police.
 
   "Three vehicles, one of them the taxi, had run into one another on
the flyover itself and tramc was backed up in all directions."
 
   Lorry driver Mr Chan Chihing, whose vehicle was used sa shield by
the robbers, said: "I saw policemen jumping out of a vehicle at the foot
of the tlyover and the next moment I was in the crossfire.
 
   "Then there were the screams and shouts of nearby people . . . it was
like a battlefield.
 
   As I was seeking cover, I saw three heavily-armed men passing in
front of my lorry and opening fire . . . I heard some bullets hitting
my lorry."
 
   A Ka Wai Chuen resident, Miss Tse Wen-man, said she saw the robbers
on Ma Tau Wai Road as they abandoned one of the hijacked cars.
 
   "Two men - one with a long gun - jumped out of the car and shouted to
another man in the car: 'Get out. Quick.' The man did not seem to
respond and two gunmen passed me and got in a taxi and drove away," she
said.

The US national average salary for fresh CS grads in 1992 was about
32K (forgot which magazine I read it from... maybe the Economist).
This varies quite a bit.  The medium at Berkeley for last spring
grads, as I obtained from it's career placement center, was 37K.

I don't know how senior is considered senior.  But if a job title
says "Senior software engineer" I would expect a salary of at least
55-60K (I heard that salaries increase VERY rapidly in HK with
1 or 2 years of experience whereas it takes a good number of years
of experience to be called a senior engineer here).

Tax rate for singles at 40K is above 30%, twice as much as the 15%
flat rate in HK.  I don't know what the cost of living in HK is
nowadays.  Can someone take that into consideration and come up
with some objective/subjective evaluations?

	Just for a referece,
	I happen to have a 86 Corolla GTS too (a black one though).
I bought it 2 months ago with Can$3995 (plus tax). It had ~80k mi
on it when I got the car. No air though..... but body very well
kept...... It's indeed a very nice car..
	but somehow, I don't like the transmission very much .... because I
am just addicted to the unspeakable feeling of shifting the 
transmission stick of VW cars.... :-)

Hmmm, recalling my Chinese history class again ...
Yes, Seto is originated from China, but not very likely to be originated
from Mongol. In fact, Seto, SeHung, SeMa are military post in the very old
days, which correspond to Army, Air Force (not really air force in the
sense of airplane :-), it only means that they manage anything happen 
from the sky) and Army on Horse. 

Well, I am not 100% sure about this since I only learnt it from my
history teachers.

I think the HKPCUG should start accepting either donation or charging
their users a small sum of money so their BBS can improve and expand 
their service by adding more phone lines.  Nobody likes the word 
"money" but the fact is that the BBS sysops are indeed subsiding the 
callers' hobby.  There is no free lunch and I hope the BBS callers
can understand that.  Everything cost money - the phone line, the
equipments and the reality is - hobby cost money and it is time for the
callers to bear part of the expense in order to get a better service.

I remembered that this should be a shareware distributed at some ftp sites
but I forgot which ones are.  Any ideas?

Thanks.

Nope, they generally cost more here.  Buy them in the US.
