OS 2.0J (2.1J?) is still beta as far as I believe. We have one cube running
2.0J here at the University of Tokyo. You can type in Japanese characters in
Edit and Draw programs. WriteNow doesn't accept them.

I phoned Canon and asked about this Japanese OS but I was told that you can buy
OS 2.0J for JPY 60,000 *IF YOU HAVE BOUGHT YOUR CUBE THROUGH CANON*. If not,
you'll have to pay JPY360,000. Yes, it's about $2,500.
