    I wonder if this would work with other writing systems. Could they learn to tell real Chinese characters from random fake ones, for example?

    IMO they will be able to recognize the real words(pictures/shape?) from the fake ones.

    Even for humans for whom English is not their first language, the roman script itself is like pictorial representation of the real world words. I can say that since English is not my first language (or the second), so whatever English I have learned is by recognizing the basic 26 pictures and correlating them with others to form words.

    In a sense, all the scripts are pictorial until you start to recognize them, then they are just "letters" that gives you feel of the language.

    then again, problems could have simple solutions.

    one incedence,
    NASA wanted to use a pen in the spacecraft it produced. they spent millions of dollars researching on the perfect ink which could be used to write material on the paper in outer space. finally after some years they were sccessful in doing that.

    Russians used pencil!

    every problem has a solution, some are simple others simpler...

    no problem for Fujitsu. they are customer oriented people.

    so they will not find it diffcult to adapt to the innovative "giving away hardware" teminology, i guess. they will concentrate more on what happens after customers get free hardware.
