Lena,

If you ever want to type in Chinese without installing a software, this is the website I use.

Oh, Lena - you can use Chinese characters again at last?

GR, I cut and paste one but now that I've read MM's posting, I can soon.
Will test it out 2morrow.

BTW for those using Firefox 3, you might've experienced problems accessing certain sites (e.g. Bloomberg) - getting some kind of "Content Encoding Error". Looks like this is a known problem, and hopefully a fix will be rolled out soon. Not sure how the F this wasn't fixed in the beta and RC stages. Anyway, hope they'll fix it soon 'cos it's madness right now having to use 2 browsers.

Subject: Big PC Virus coming

A friend emailed this .......
http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/postcard.asp

You should be alert during the next few days. Do not open any message with an attachment entitled 'POSTCARD,' regardless of who sent it to you.

It is a virus which opens A POSTCARD IMAGE, which 'burns' the whole hard disc C of your computer. This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address in his/her contact list.

If you receive a mail called' POSTCARD,' even though sent to you by a friend, do not open it! Shut down your computer immediately.

This is the worst virus announced by CNN. It has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever. This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday , and there is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept.
