Thats one thing that's been bugging me. You, Scott, Louise and Ryan all 
seem to get by without doing any E > J gigs. When I was translating 
(mostly mechanical/automotive) through 93-96, each of my 3 largest 
customers in turn began requesting that I provide E > J quotations and 
services as part of the overall deal. It reached the point where it was 
one of the factors leading me to give translation away and go back to 
school. I'm not sure if it was due to my location, the strong yen at the 
time encouraging companies to commercialise new imports, plain bad luck 
or too narrow a customer base.
