Post: Turning Your PC Japanese?

vosmiura - Some typists still use the kana input (according to something I remember reading on 2ch), it's apparently faster because there's less typing. It's just harder to get used to using.

Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to ask a question. I'm trying to figure out and enumerate the things I should bring with me. My question is (you guessed it), what should I bring? Thanks.

Really wish I had the time for it. I'm a full-time college student... getting a job soon, as well.
