Hi,  First of all I'd like to introduce myself. My name is Mike Facer and I've
just started on the Shogi Disc.List. I live in Honolulu ,Hawaii. The local
Shogi players meet everyday at waikiki beach from around noon. If anybody
should be visiting Hawaii ,they're invited to stop in and play. We're just a
small
group, but at least a couple of guys show up every day. We meet at the
covered pavilion between the sidewalk and the beach. (directly across from
the Pacific Beach Hotel)

Secondly, since I've been poking around the web, I've come across various Shogi
links that lead to pages that are entirely or partly in Japanese, and I was
wondering how I could get my computer to display the actual Japanese. I
don't recall any of the shogi pages explaining how to do this, but now I've
found

a way. If you go to the web site Shodouka Launchpad ( URL is:
http://csclub.uwaterloo.ca/u/kryee/shodouka/), you can enter in the URL of any
Japanese web page and the shodouka launchpad will display the japanese for
you. From there you can follow any of the links as you normally would-all
in Japanese. Maybe this has been discussed before and you already know this.
In that case, I'd just like to suggest to those maintaining web pages with
japanese
links, that they provide this information on their page. I'm sure it would be
very useful to other beginners like me. Thanks.
