When I walked in home from the hospital (after the mother-in-law is sleeping soundly), I walked past the sister-in-laws room only to discover that she is still awake reading manga............................. BIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTTCCCCCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHHHHH!!!! ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Don't be alarmed, I'm at the hospital right now, but I am not the patient.  Its the mother-in-law.  Actually she checked herself in about a week ago to discover that she has stomach ulcers. Well, that's what she thought, but its not the case, actually, we don't know what the problem is, so she have been at the hospital this week having various checks made on her. Its kind of strange, she seems alright, considering she makes a trip back home everyday by herself (the hospital is just around the corner), so we're all stumped on what's actually wrong with her. I'm at the hospital now, hoping that she goes to sleep.  She made several calls tonight back home saying she is scared since the person in the next bed has checked out of the hospital.  Not sure what she is scared off, its a hospital at the end of the day...maybe she has done something bad, so is afraid to sleep on her own. The thing is what annoys me is I am doing this out of charity. OK, OK, she's my

Code pages are necessary because ANSI files only have 8 bits to display a character (char). This means there are only 256 possible characters--not nearly enough for all languages of the world. The American charset needs only 128 different chars = 7-bit. Because 7-bit was a bit inefficient for computers, this led to the need for another bit; thus, currently, another 128 possibilities are available to display chars. On MS-DOS systems, some of these bits have been used for drawing boxes and lines. With Windows, these boxes and lines have been removed from the charsets and more foreign chars have been added. For the most Western languages like English, French, German, and others, these additional chars work efficiently. For example, the German charset needs only seven extra chars to the US charset - leaving enough space for special chars from Spain, Norway, and so forth. However, for certain charsets, such as Cyrillic charsets, the space was not big enough. Codepages fill that gap. A code
