Dear John, Test, test, test... Can you read me? I'm finally wired! For the last several days I had a lot of trouble setting up my new computer, but I finally managed to tame it -- sort of. Now I'm sending you this e-mail via the Internet to see if I'm doing OK. Will you please let me know as soon as you receive this e-mail? Thanks.Jack Chen
No. 2 《謝謝你這麼快就回信……》
Dear John,Thanks for replying to my e-mail so quickly. It was only 30 minutes ago that I posted my first e-mail, and I already have received your reply. Unbelievable! If it was "snail mail," I would still be on my way back from the post office. You kept telling me about the virtues of going "digital,"and now I think I understand what you meant by that. Being able to exchange mail with someone thousands of miles away in 30 minutes or even less is simply amazing.Anyway, I just want to say thank you for the e-mail and letting me know that I was doing OK. Like you said, let's keep in touch -- on-line!Jack Chen

Will anyone out there teach me how to set up my e-mail program? Currently, I'm using a freeware e-mail program running on Windows XP, but I want to switch to E-Mail Assistant (Ver. 2.0). Today I spent the whole day trying to set it up by myself, but I was just wasting my time. If you are willing to teach me how, please do so like you are talking to a ten-year old. I'm not a computer whiz and I don't understand any of those geek codes like PPP, POP, FTP and so on. Thanks in advance.Yours, lost in Cyberspace

No. 11 《查詢目錄上的商品內容……》
Today I received your mail-order catalog which I asked for in my previous e-mail of April 1, and I want to thank you very much for responding to my request so promptly.In looking over the catalog I came across several interesting CD-ROM programs, including TRANSwriter (Item No. B-998) and SuperOffice (Item No. B-995). But the catalog does not mention for which models of PC each of these CD-ROMs is designed. Not being a computer whiz, I don't know much about computers, but as far as I understand there are three major PC models (Mac, IBM and DOS/V), and a CD-ROM designed for one particular model cannot be used with other models.My computer is COMPAQ CDS 524, which is a DOS/V model, and I wonder whether EZLetter and PowerWriter will run on my machine. Your kind reply -- or perhaps a little lecture on CD-ROM compatibility -- will be greatly appreciated. Sincerely yours,Jack Chen
