I bought a computer in Canada and brought it to Japan and it worked fine.  The wall sockets are only two-pronged, but you can get a power bar with three prongs.  Also, the electricity runs at 100 volts instead of 110.  The only difference this should make is that the computer's internal clock might run slower, but I could be wrong on this.\n\nThe thing to watch out for is that, in the eastern part of Japan the AC cycles at 50 hz, not 60.  Most desktop computers have switches on the powers supply to compensate for this, however.\n\nIf you're using a notebook, so much the better, since their AC adaptors are specifically designed to be used on different electrical grids.

You need to configure your computer to view Japanese characters. \n\nIf you're using XP, open the control panel, select "Date, Time, Language, and Regional Options" then "Regional and Language Options." Click on the "Add other languages" tab and check "Install East Asian Languages." \n\nThe way for other OS is similar. \n\nDetailed instructions can be found at these websites (they also help set up your computer to type Japanese):\n\nhttp://www.declan-software.com/japanese_ime/\n\nhttp://www.msu.edu/~bellbri2/ime.html\n\nhttp://www.ndl.go.jp/en/publication/ndl_newsletter/116/164.html

First, I am assuming that by "computers", you mean a relatively new (after 2000) home computer... and that by "America", you are referring to the USA.\n\nThat is like asking... "where can I buy a car without any foreign parts?"... you can't!... but seriously, if you want anything that is 100% American made, you pretty much have to build it yourself (from scratch)... even if you were to buy a computer that is "made in the USA", its components, such as transistors, capacitors, resistors, ect... (probably most of them) are almost certainly foreign... so really, they are only assembled in the US (as is sadly the case with most "made in the USA" labeled products)... and even if you were to find one that was truly made in the USA, there's a near certainty that a good portion of its design was done overseas... and even if you were find one that was made, and designed in the USA... you would be hard pressed to find (any) "brand name" software (including the operating system) that was 100% coded in the USA... and (yet another exemption), assuming everything I mentioned above was done in America, you would have great difficulty to find one that wasn't at some point shipped, assembled, sold, or anything else by an illegal alien...\n\nIf someone told me to find such a computer, or be shot, I would probably take the second offer, rather than search my entire life for something that probably doesn't exist.\n\nIf you want ane american made home computer, go to a museum.

Thats false.  You can play the older games that exist on your new computer, as long as you have the correct emulator software (a program that "translates" the old code or programming language to a series of instructions that your new OS can understand and execute).  Lots of emulators are available on the net.

No, my Japanese friend travels to both Iran and the US on business on a regular basis and has no problems that way. Some countries such as Israel will give you a visa on a seperate piece of paper to avoid such issues, but Iran should be OK>

Provided it's a windows PC you might be able to go to Control Panel --> Regional Options ---> Add other languages and work from there, but since it's a school computer they might now allow this.\nInstead, just wait until you get home or find a cyber cafe (or possible a local library) to view your sites.
