Dear Sam,

It really depends on what you really like to do on PC, but the best way to
use Japanese language on the foreign environment is not to use Windows
Japanese version. Please check the following site for Global IME:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/features/ime.asp

On Win2000, you don't even need Global IME. You can type in Japanese in
Word2000, Internet Explorer (in input fields) and Outlook Express. If you
are using WinNT, 95, 98, etc, you need Global IME and can use Word2000, etc.
Of course, this is very much limited use of PC, but as long as you write and
read e-mails and search something on the web by using Japanese keywords,
this is good enough.

Hope it would be of some help.

Regards,

Kenji
