What is NEW in the
Computer World outside CHINA?		Current Computer Situation
in CHINA		 Facing the situation :
There is NO FONT
in Big-5 or GB.

Internet Content in Chinese is EXTREMELY Poor, Why ?
PC-to-People Ratio is very VERY Low in China, Why ?
THINK TWICE !

A TV set is for Watching News, Entertaining, ..... etc.
But, a COMPUTER is a TOOL, not an Appliance,
people want to use it for various purposes,
to do things like:
perform works in offices & do school homeworks,
receive & send Emails,
get & provide informations,
buy & sell things,
create contents & design patterns,
play games & surf the net
..... etc.
To do these, they need to be able to
input their written languages easily into
a computer, otherwise why should they buy it !
Result: 1.2 units / 100 person !
And,
if the net contents are poor, why should they surf the NET !
Result: 1.8%, or only 22 million people on internet !

Due to the majority of talented Chinese can NOT type Chinese
on a computer and the supply of typing hands is dry,
the content supplies are extremely LIMITED,
this leads MOST portal sites in a fast spiral-downward mode,
a gravely dangerous satuation.

HOW FAR ARE WE FALLING BEHIND NOW ?!

Why ?

Is it because of ECONOMY, or Chinese Input TOOL unfriendly ?

After Some 20 Years,
WHERE ARE WE NOW ?

In 2001, there are only 22 million internet users in China.
Population Ratio 1.8%
In 2000, PC Rate was a merely 1.2 units / 100 people in China
after some 20 years' intensive efforts !!!!!

SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG !

GO DIGITAL IS THE ONLY WAY
TO SOLVE THIS PERSISTING PROBLEM !!!

Why Should Chinese be Digitized
when Processed on a Computer?


PROBLEM :

To most ordinary Chinese,
the busy symbol-ladden 101 keyboard is extremely hard to handle!
Constantly Scaring People Away !

Chinese Linux OS :

When you see or think of a character,
you know its input code instantly,
Big-5 or GB.

SEE THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES:

Running-Hand Writing   Big-5 & GB

To code a simplified character the same way coding a traditional,
vice versa.

Traditional Characters

Simplified Characters
processed (input/entered) on a swin3.2 computer as if they were "traditional characters".
