Hi BJ,

Not a whole lot of help, but I did do a web search then asked Google to
translate it, and this is what it came up with. I love the last line!

having read computerized-translation, i was so amazed by its very low
level of translation capability even today. i couldn't even guess
original japanese until i checked with japanese web page. Google or
whatever translated kanji by kanji, not even word by word, very
mechanically. i thought they could program better.

for instance, i found "the one love house" was "(ceramic) lovers"
(like animal lovers and music lovers, no, not lovers made of clay ).

PC-connectivity is about to retrieve firing data. the firing control
is done by its own panel (computer/chip).

i saw another web page describing microwave ceramic kiln.
