Without further restraint here are, repeated,
THE TOP THREE REASONS I WANNA DO JAPANESE WITHOUT IME
3. I'm using Windows 95/98/Me and it won't let me do Japanese in AIM/WinMX/whatever.
2. I stole Windows XP with my l33t pir8 sk1\_\_0rz and now I don't have a OS disk I can install Windows XP IME from.
1. I'm at work/internet cafe/library and the **!^*$*^ers won't let me install anything.
So, what can be done?
1. Third party product (e.g. NJStar CJK communicator which has a 30 day free trial and works with more programs in old versions of Windows)
2. JWPce - a free Japanese word processor. Type there, and paste into wherever you need it.
3. Online utility allows you to do the same as [2] - mostly for kana at the moment.
