[X4U] Chinese on an iBook. Any advice?

[Phillip Deackes]

I have a friend who has moved to Beijing. She has an iBook, and has now
settled down with a Chinese boyfriend. Unfortunately, he cannot easily input
Chinese characters on the Mac - a task he finds easy on a Windows computer.

They are now considering ditching the Mac and moving to Windows instead. I
can't believe that Macs are no good in the most populous country in the
world and I would love to help.

Maybe they need to buy a software package?

Any advice would be gratefully received.
