Well, this has nothing to do with audio equipment, but anyways.
What programs do you guys use to type characters? I use NJStar but I don't speak Mandarin.

Anyone here speaks Cantonese? I am a ABC (and Japanese), gonna go to Hong Kong/Guangzhao to find my roots, or something.

The IME that comes with windows 98, 2000, xp whatever is pretty good for input with a wide selection of input methods for both simplified and traditional, and seems to work better than NJstar with other programs as it is integrated into Windows. But I dont hitnk you can input in Cantonese (if you speak it that is) with microsoft's ime. im ABC too... im SUPPOSED to be able to speak cantonese becausse its our native dialect but my dad spent most of his life here and mostly speaks english and my mom basically gave up teaching us so instead i went to chinese school to learn and i speak mandarin instead ><. I wish i could speak cantonese...

native cantonese speaker here. just use traditional chinese if you want to type in cantonese...basically they are more or less the same. of course some slang / informal words can't be input easily because they are never used in writing!
cantonese is quite different from mandarin, check out wikipedia if interested...

my chinese isnt top noch, so i'll do the best i can:

WJMGEORGE: Havent visited in a while, I'm so happy and glad to know eveyone, but if I use English here, I dont think I'll be able to clearly express all I have to say. In 2 days I will be taking my school exams, so I have been very busy lately, seeing that so many friends have welcomed me makes me very happy, and my schedule is pretty tight today so I won't respond in English this time.

is it ok if we use chinese characters with their english translation? so, both chinese speakers and non chinese speakers would know what we talk about.

Perhaps. I'm not the one to ask about that. All I know is that earlier in this forum's history there were several Chinese people who spoke to each other in their own language (in public -- obviously PMs are fine), which caused this rule to be created.

Maybe we should have a sub forum for the minority speakers then? Since it is sometimes difficult to express yourself in a language that you are not familar with!
