Dear Mary,

The best way to get your computer to "speak Russian" is to re-install
Windows 98 or 2000.
It has an option for UNICODE. You can only do it while installing. If you
can't do it - get help, it is easy (I am unable to help you because I am
using a lab computer which was set to English/Cyrillic. I did it myself a
couple of years ago, but I forget...)

After you have set your computer to English/Cyrillic option, the best way
will be to install the phonetic Cyrillic Keyboard from the Internet. It is
free and you canb find it at
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/Paul_Gorodyansky/ (if it is not an
option at the installation).

As for the e-mail system - the best is OUTLOOK Express. Not only does it
support Cyrillic Fonts, it also supports animation, audio files, music
background.... It is part of MS Internet Explorer.
