It definitely beats the heck out of that "genuine" A****er-Kent breadboard
radio with miniature tubes that was posted on eBay a few months ago. For
one thing it has a speaker.

I can't read Japanese, and don't want to install one of those language
programs, but it appears to be sold as just what it is -- a cute kit. For
the tinkerer, it can make for a neat little radio that can be a conversation
piece in the corner of any living room or office.

You don't need to /install/ anything - "babelfish" just redirects the page
you want translated to another web site that does the translation, then
displays it in your browser just like any other web page. It's one of the
most sophisticated web applications, but the translations (obviously)
aren't perfect, and can sometimes be hilarious!
