Thank you for your reply. This is exactly the kind of catastrophe I was expecting.

The problem is even worse for computers sold in the Asian community in the United states. One of my favorite Chinese buffet type places had one on the bar. It would switch between English and Japanese when you bumped the mouse pointer into a certain region of the screen border. (I know how that sounds, but it really was a Chinese buffet owned by a Japanese family). I suspect there is a large number of these multi-lingual type setups at least in the United States.

Thanks again.
Roland
