Re: fire-localization digest, Vol 1 #93 - 2 msgs

[Daisuke O. <do...@ma...>]

Ok, here is what I know about Yahoo Messenger in Japan.

To Jason,
I believe that the recent protocol change has not been affecting the 
Japanese version of yahoo since I was able to get on it with the older 
version of Proteus after the date when they changed it.

To Alan,
I created the Y! Japan account for you.  User name is firejapantest and 
the password is firejapan1.  My use id is dokada_family so message me 
when you can.  I am available during the daytime here in Japan which is 
like 5pm-12am western standard time.  Hope this would work out for 1.0 
release.  I know quite a few people not using Fire because of this.

Thanks for your help.
