I ordered my RUPUTER on the web (TZone). I received it one week later without problem. The first contact is relatively disconcerting : all in japonese (doc and watch menus). I tried to install the application to pilot the "watch" with a PC but, apparently there is a problem with my french version of Windows 95. I e-mailed to Jun Hirotomi and RUPUTER support... they search ... In the same time, I tried to understand what was on the "watch". Program are named XXXX.EXF. It's easy to go all over the directories... and execute programs. I succeeded in translate 95% of the item of the menus (KATAKANA is based on 75 phonetic ideograms whose can be easily translate - there are really good and easy-to-use japonese-english dictionaries on the web. Japonese people use Katakana for occidental terms and two others alphabet. These alphabets are more difficult to translate but I did it when it was necessary... ). The watch system and the appl ication are really parametrable (power saver, 4 daily or weekly alarms, public holiday, ...). There is a little file manager (rename, copy, suppression functions for files and directories). At the beginning, applications are : a watch (yes it is), a calendar (schedule), a to-do list (with priorities), a memo, a chronograph, a timer, a word map (with the hour all over the world), a calculator, a phone and adress list, a reversi game. Applications are useable without a link to a PC. To write datas, there are several "alphabets" : Hiragana, Katakana, predefined messages (in japonese), occidental alphabet, symbols, icons... It's possible to see TXT files (not to modify). After that, I discovered a lot of things on the web (it's the beginning !!!) all in japonese : - a RUPUTER SDK (language c) - some applications : a nice watch with hand, tetris, life game, "break wall (?)", ~galaxian, biorythm, animated lines (like the screensaver of Windows), a sokoban-like, a picture viewer, ... - a RUPUTER station !!!!!!! => this program allowed my PC to discuss with my RUPUTER !!! A new world was presented to me : directory creation and file transfers PC <=> RUPUTER. So I put all the things listed below on my watch and I'm the happiest man in the world !!! At the beginning (last week), it wasn't easy to dominate my watch, but, now, I have no problem. It's so great that I will make a personnal page on the web dedicated to the RUPUTER... in french because, as you see, my english is really poor ! I will tell you when this page will be on. Do you know someone interested by a Timex Datalink ? ;^)
