WindowsXP
Windows' latest operating system is blending general consumer-targeted line (95->98->Me) and professional line (NT-> 2000) and finally, multilingual capability is built-in. Most recent computers come with XP. How to make Japanese enabled from the system you bought outside of Japan is quite similar to Windows 2000.

Windows 2000
Multilingual capability is there. No more Global IME. You have to make sure your computer is upgradeable to 2000. Check hardware requirements. After all, 2000 is an NT upgrade and you will have less trouble buying the 2000 system installed rather than upgrading from 9x. If you have Office 2000 and XP, multilingual function should work flawlessly. Other software might have backward compatibility problems. More and more software are compatible with Windows 2000, but sometimes it doesn't mean everything works in Japanese. You may still need Japanese version of software (e.g. PhotoShop J) to make fully Japanese capable.

Mac OS 9.x
Japanese Language Kit (along with other languages) comes with the system. Catch? You can rest easy if you have G3 or G4 computers. But if you have older computers, i.e., PowerPC processor and you may not have enough memory to run it. That means some Performa (4-digit ones) machines are lucky to be able to upgrade but nothing older.

Mac OS 8.x or earlier
If you don't have JLK already, you are out of luck? Apple and other stores do not sell JLK anymore. But wait, if you have OS8.5 or 8.6, maybe you can view Japanese, but not to write. If you have 68030 based chip or later, you can install old version of Kanji Talk, Japanese system.

The body of the e-mail will always begin with "Hi! How are you?" and end with "See you later. Thanks." In between these opening and closing lines will be one of the following:
I send you this file in order to have your adviceSirCam is a sophisticated worm that will infect files shared over an open network so most people will never see the original infected e-mail associated with the worm. SirCam (w32.Sircam@mm) also contains a dangerous payload: It may delete all the files or fill up all the remaining space on the C drive in mid October.
The email body goes like this:
"I just found out about this virus which is easily removed I got this virus, and chances are you have it too, since you're all in my address book. It lies dormant for 14 days, then kills your hard drive. Here's how to stop it. If you've got it, send this to everyone in your address book.
The directions for removing it are easy.
1. Go to 'start' - then to 'find or search' (depending on your computer)
2. In the 'search for files or folders' type in sulfnbk.exe -- this is the virus.
3. In the 'look in' make sure you're searching Drive C.
4. Hit 'search' button (or find)
5. If this file shows up (it's an ugly blackish icon that will have the name sulfnbk.exe') DO NOT OPEN IT
6. Right click on the file - go down to delete and left click.
7. You will be told this is a program file and removing it will cause problems. A lie. It will ask
you if you want to send it to the recycle bin, say yes.
8. Go to your desktop (where all your icons are) and double click on the recycle bin.
9. Right click on sulfnbk.exe and delete again -or empty the bin.
If you find it send this email to everyone in your address book, because that's how it's transferred.
Many apologies."
This hoax warns against a virus contained in a file called SULFNBK.EXE, that arrives hidden in an email message. SULFNBK.EXE is a Windows System file that is installed in the Windows Command folder when the Windows Operating System is installed. Therefore, the presence of this file does not necessarily mean a system is infected.

Keiko's Rule of thumb
1) When you receive an attachment from EVEN somebody you know, you have to be careful. Because virus often spreads itself by mostly using MS Outlook's address book. Don't open your attachment unless you know absolutely sure what it is for!
2) You have to be careful with .exe and .vb extensions. Recently the file looks disguised, but often have .pif, .src extensions came with SirCam. Also .doc MS Word can contain Macro that can be programmed. So unfortunately we have to be suspicious.
