PowerMac G4 with the 20" Apple Cinema Display as a matter of fact :-) One main thing I like about the Chinese language support on the Mac is that all the fonts are anti-aliased therefore look much smoother. Also, by default, you can input traditional Chinese with Hanyu Pinyin, which some Windows folks have been having problems with unfortunately :- I believe typing traditional Chinese with Hanyu Pinyin is extremely important especially for people who live outside of China or Taiwan and can't get ahold of a Chinese keyboard with the extra symbols on the keys.

Guest jekor Posted November 12, 2003 at 03:54 PM Report Share Posted November 12, 2003 at 03:54 PM I believe typing traditional Chinese with Hanyu Pinyin is extremely important especially for people who live outside of China or Taiwan and can't get ahold of a Chinese keyboard with the extra symbols on the keys. I was lucky enough to find a batch of Chinese PS/2 keyboards at a computer fair here in California. Price? $3 each. Of course, it wouldn't take too much work for someone to memorize the positions of the 24 characters of Cangjie. I think that memorizing the rules, secondary symbols, and expections is the only difficult part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aw, that's a shame. From what I heard, there are quite a few Mac user groups in China, mainly in Beijing and Shanghai. The one that I know off the top of my head is Beijing Macintosh User Group, or BeiMac. Also from the news I've been seeing, there seems to be a couple Apple Centres opened up in Beijing and Shanghai. It is a shame that Macs are too expensive for some. Mac OS X has just amazing support for Chinese and other languages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think Steve Jobs isn't interested in the Chinese market? There have been new Apple Centres opening in Beijing and also occasional promotions. I do believe Apple is doing more with Taiwan though, especially with iPods, but that has more to do with regional marketing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
