Thank you all for the warm and encouraging Welcome.Well i blew it again..tried to return Roberts PM.. spent time even proof reading the damn thing.. and off into the ozone it went.. never to be seen again.. this keyboard has a mind of it's own on certain sites, and some keys stick and others just refuse to play. a couple questions, how do you send a Pm.. I mean I know every thing except how to get it to the proper recipient. I clicked on the addressee and it sent me to the profile page...And in so doing, of course the lovely note I had crafted for Robert ..Poof! gone...not really what I wanted to accomplish at all..Also.. just WHAT does QQ do? I understand the chat and IM stuff, I use this feature on other sites, but , but how does one communicate with somebody that speaks little or no English?? Does it have translation ability, or do I have to have someone conversant in English to be able to communicate? Or is the onus onme to be able to read/ understand chinese? I have taken a very few lessons in the Piomsleur CD Mandarin course, but although I might be able to order abeer( helpful) or ask for directions( agian, useful) I am afraid much of what someone would be answered with wo buming bi ni shou shima.. or something like that. Wo shoud de bu hua. Or is there a reliable and relatively affordable software that translates such as the ones people use overseas? can't think of the bloody name.. frenda,? trenda 3000? something like that. If someone can help me with the two above concerns It would be appreciated Thank you in advance. Dan PS if someone wishes to try the QQ my secret code, available to the general public...1034641662 Thanks Dan
