Okay, in rebuilding the IBM partitions I pulled out the collection of (eight!)
cd's to reload the OS. There is an eight page IMPORTANT! manual that 
grabbed my
attention. It was basically a CYA (Cover Your Arse) document produced 
by IBM to
placate Microsoft's plethora of jumpy lawyers. What is interesting about it is
the number of languages it came in.

I am curious if we can all figure out what languages it is in, so here for
everyone, is the section titled "No warranty for Software", reproduced 
in order
of appearance, all the different languages I can figure out how to type 
on this
keyboard. Please identify them if you know the languages. Paranthetically
postulated languages need verification.

Good luck! No cheating! ; )
