Japan only, because I live here.

May be you are right, but I am kind of "pro choice".

Outside Japan you may be perfectly right, I would not know, but if you
wanna know what's buggy try out
Fujitsu PC with Japanese Windows 95 and their wonderful "FMV" softo....

Earl, this is brillant, please share your wisdom with me and name me only
one mail order company who ships Dell Dimension, Gateway G-series or
similar top of the line product to Japan. I would be very grateful for good
advice.

Online or off-line, I could not find any, except Acer (old and expensive)
and Micron (I am still considering).....

Dell in Japan do not sell Dimenesion PC, and Gateway in Akihabara do not
sell the G-series.

So much for the record......

Best regards,
