$5 on Stars if u find a US computer manufacturer that ships to Japan
My brother is teaching in ESL and just had his laptop crash; he's in an area where the stores only sale computers with Japanese-language operating systems.
Anyways, I've tried to figure out a way to get Dell to ship to Japan (WHERE THEY HAVE AN ENTIRE DIVISION), but no dice. To order you have to speak Japanese and use the .jp site. So...does ANYBODY ship to Japan?? $5 for a yes answer. |

If you reinstall with a western OS and use the US keyboard format, the markings on the keys won't match what you get when you type. Also, Amazon.com (US store) does not ship electronics to Japan. FWIW, tell the guy to pick up a copy of the free Metropolis magazine that is available at many bookstores and restaurants that foreigners frequent. Last I checked there were a couple of local companies that advertise in it that sell PCs with US-style keyboards and OS. Lots of classified as well, so he may find someone selling a similar used PC for cheap. |
