Hello net, I'm new to this group, so I hope this is the right place to ask. My sister has recieved a grant to research computer usage in education in Japan. She'll go in March, but needs to know a few practical things first: - Are computers widely used in lower middle and higher education? - What is the computer standard over there? (I heared it's something from NEC) Is it compatible with anything used in the rest of the world? - Does that computer standard use Japanese language and characters? - Are IBM PC compatibles generally available in universities? (She's going to the University of Heroshima) - Are MAC's generally available in universities? If someone from Heroshima could answer (especially the last 2 questions) I'd by _very_ happy, but any info is welcome. Happy netting, Richard (rontelta@thoff.fwi.uva.nl)
