Hi Mike,
  I am just back from 4 weeks off, so have tons to do, but before I forget,
one thing I did encounter on the software list is Easy Kana.  I don't think
it's published any longer.  I called all the numbers I had and then checked
LLTI, and the people I reached (can't remember the company right now) said
they no longer supported that software.  We couldn't get it to work right
any longer on the newer machines, so I was looking  for an upgrade.  Sorry
I don't have time to submit this the regular way.  Did you go to IALL?  Was
it great as usual?

Ruth
