[quote="CockneyRebel"]I'm very happy about it. After I get my Computer, I'm going to start saving up for my tickets. Even when I move out, a year from now, I'll still be able to save with careful planning. I've always wanted to go to London, and this would be the ideal way for me to do so. London and the Olympics are my two biggest obsessions. They always have been. :D[/quote]

I'm no computer genius here. <br /> <br />With Mac OS X, we get the input scripts for Cyrillic Languages (Russian, Ukranian and Bulgarian) and Unicode (Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, etc). As well as scripts for Cent. Europe (Polish, Czech, etc.), Japanese, Trad. Chinese, Simp. Chinese and Korean. <br /> <br />Man are we spoiled here. <br /> <br />Now with XP, I don't know much about the scripts and if they come pre-installed, so check on that - and see how to change the keyboard layout, which I think is in the Control Panels. You need to have the scripts before you can install the language layouts and fonts or else they would be of no use. <br /> <br />One thing about Mac OS X though is that I can select and activate one or more languages at once and change the layout scripts on the fly (as long as compatible fonts for the script are installed, or it is a no-go). <br /> <br />I was shocked that I was able to type on the message board since the board's software program itself supports Unicode and other non-Roman scripts. The names on the layouts, on my screen, would gray out if the program didn't support them. But if they support their fonts, I don't know yet.

He was ranting something about decreasing "inspiriation" and that there will cease to be any on December 21, 2012 and that this would bring about the end of the world. He concluded his calculations were correct because they coincide with a Myan myth that claimns that the world will end at the same date. I'll have to try to remember where I found my sources.
