Any Windows-based PC built in the last 10 years should be able to handle 
Windows 98 and Internet Explorer 5. That is all you need to read Unicode 
Hebrew correctly, and includes the Outlook Express mail client which 
supports Unicode. With this setup, unless you have the Middle Eastern 
version, you have no easy way of typing Unicode Hebrew - for that you 
really need Windows 2000 or XP and a slightly more powerful computer.

I accept that things are a little more difficult for the Mac. Properly 
updated and configured Linux systems should have no trouble displaying 
Hebrew.

But the real problems are for the few list members who are stuck with 
working from old mainframe systems which only support ASCII text. Also 
those who insist on using dinosaur mail clients like Eudora which 
continue to make no attempt to support Unicode.
