well,well, not so bad. I have a middle test tomorrow early moring, if i could pass it i could drive on the road with one person sitting beside me[vance_stevens: Is this the usual procedure for everyone in Japan who wants a license?
mysailing:
yes,vance_stevens: You say it takes two weeks? Can the person with you be any licensed driver?
mysailing:
He or she must have more than 3 years driving experiencevance_stevens: I think it's about the same in America if you are learning for the first time. In the UAE the process is very long and unfair I think.
mysailing:
It would take me over 2 months, i am surevance_stevens: Why do you want to drive? Do you need to? Do you plan to buy a car?

About this time, Ying Lan appeared on HearMe. She had sent me a real media file recording earlier of her reading of Appointment in Samarra. She asked me to check her pronunciation. So I played the recording and then pronounced the words she needed help with for her, and she repeated them. One word she had difficulty with was "threatening", and I helped her with "threat" and "threaten" to lead up to "threatening."
Here's what the screen looked like.

Vance: Where do we get Voxphone?
Moral: www.voxphone.com
Ying-Lan: Is it a free shareware?
Moral: a shareware... but you can use its basic functions even after trial period.
Ying-Lan: Vance probably is busy to download the Voxphone.
Ying-Lan: Have you read the e-mail that I was talking about a magicspell?
Moral: Not yet. But I read about fate - a good piece.
Ying-Lan: I like to read those brief stories.
Moral: It's very helpful.

Ying-Lan: Actually, I spent all day on line.
Moral: You mean you downloaded Voxphone Ying?
Ying-Lan: I bought a book ( To learn English on line) and a magazine ( "Download") ... So.. I followed their instructions to visit those sites.
Ying-Lan: I was surprised when I installed the MagicSpell.
Vance: It's great with so many webheads to share all this information
Ying-Lan: He could read it.
Ying-Lan: I wrote the email to tell webheads to download the magicspell.
Moral: Interesting. I'll try it.
Ying-Lan: Vance maybe you need to write How to install it .
Moral: May I have your ICQ number Yinglan?
Vance: To explain you mean? Why don't you write it. It will be good practice for you.
Vance: Was it difficult to install?
Ying-Lan: When I installed the Mspell4ICQ.exe, after pressed the finished buttom. There was a box .. I had to select "select site to download" then prssed "next" buttom to download somthing... i
Ying-Lan: It took more ten minutes to download...something...
Vance: Ok, hmmm

Ying-Lan: What is it?
Vance: I downloaded it but haven't installed it.
Moral: How is Hearme?
Ying-Lan: Fine.
Vance: I have a really annoying banner ad with my version of the palace
Ying-Lan: You can hear eveyone speaking.
Ying-Lan: annoying banner?
Vance: You never explained your problem, Moral, with HearMe.
Vance: A banner is like a flag. So a banner ad (advertisement) is one that pops up and is long, like a banner.
Ying-Lan: Yes.. it is .
Moral: I have a banner on the Palace too...
Ying-Lan: I deleted them.
Vance: Yeah, how did you delete it? This one keeps coming back.

Ying-Lan: Nobody coming.
Ying-Lan: Why sue is on Yahoo>
Moral: I know. so we can be here.
Vance: Lately people have been coming late.
Ying-Lan: I was alone in the chat room of Yahoo.
Ying-Lan: Nobody wanted to talk to me... sad.
Ying-Lan: I almost forgot the yahoo chat room.
Ying-Lan: the password and user name.
Moral: Does Hearme need something like DirectX... I use Windows 95.
Vance: This is Yahoo messenger. You get it at http://www.yahoo.com and you search for the messenger, and download it.
Ying-Lan: I don't know.. I use window 98.
Moral: And Vance?
Ying-Lan: Do I have to download the softwear of Yahoo messenger?
Vance: I'm not sure either. I think it just needs a 4.0 or better browser
Vance: If you want to use messenger you have to download it.
Moral: I use IE 5.0.
Ying-Lan: IE5 is o.k. .
Ying-Lan: I use IE 5 , too.

Vance: I just gave Sue the url for the Palace software. Maybe she can join us.
Moral: She has to download the software. I takes time.
Ying-Lan: She has to download the Palace before she join us. ... it takes a long time to download it.
Moral: It takes time.
Ying-Lan: I don't like to download the program at night.
Moral: Why?
Ying-Lan: I always download the progam on Sunday morning.
Vance: It doesn't take too long. Others have made it here after downloading during class.
Ying-Lan: I get up early to download it. It is quick and fast.
Moral: So is it in nights. I often surf too late.
Ying-Lan: Sunday morning.. it is my working time.
Ying-Lan: But it is very slow when you download something at night.
Ying-Lan: You should try to download programs in Sunday morning....
Moral: It's faste...at 2 or 3 am.
Ying-Lan: Ohh... you don't need to sleep..
Ying-Lan: It is bad to your health...
Moral: In weekends...

Ying-Lan: It is the hottest program on line... to download mp3..by Nepster.
Moral: I just have the softwares downloaded and watch TV...
Vance: Do you use Napster?
Ying-Lan: Watch TV on line?
Moral: Oh, Nice! the url please Ying?
Moral: No...regular TV. just let the computer works.
Vance: I don't think I'd like other people having access to my computer.
Ying-Lan: NO. Vance. I just read the magazine talking about Napster..
Ying-Lan: I downloaded it from web site in Taiwan.
Vance: It's popular, but it lets other people get stuff from your computer.
Moral: Neither I.
Ying-Lan: Really...???
Vance: "nor I"
Moral: Sorry, nor I...
Ying-Lan: When I use Napster, Like I open the gate of my computer, and let people acess my file.
Moral: But they can't do it if I don't have hack program in my PC.
Ying-Lan: Is it correct?
Moral: Napster lets other access your computer?
Ying-Lan: I have no idea about that.. I just read Vance's words. I guess it.
Ying-Lan: Vance probably is busy on his wrok.
Vance: Just moving between chats.
Moral: I know...
Moral: Any luck with your Voxphone download?
Vance: Napster lets you download music from other people's computers, and lets other people get it from yours.
Vance: It keeps a database of what music is where and directs traffic among all the computers.
Moral: Sounds like a hack software.
Ying-Lan: Sue is coming our voice chat room.
Vance: Sue is 60% through downloading the Palace. She told us that in the voice chat.
Ying-Lan: Do you work tomorrow?Moral.
Ying-Lan: I heard 46%
