Chinese, which was the correct way to display it given the headers ;-)

My beige G3 PowerMac was bought about July 1998 and is still in daily use for both work and home use (the floppy drive doesn't work, but probably only needs cleaning), as is the Epson printer bought at the same time. :-)

(OTOH, scholar.google.com is better) I'm not saying Wikipedia and IMDB are totally incorrect, but so much of it is rubbish that it's not a trustworthy resource and should NEVER EVER be relied on as a sole source. If you want real information you need to look elsewhere. The Internet Book List (http://www.iblist.com) shows how such a site should be done - the users supply information, but that information is not made live until it has actually been officially checked. Of course every resource will have errors because they compiled by human beings who can make mistakes, but the reliable ones are not used by morons who think it's funny to post utter nonsense as "fact", which unfortunately is far too many people on the Internet (just look at Loser Larry for a "good" example of such an idiot). |
