I learned Biaoxingma on a BBK learning machine. Back then people called it "Biaoxingma One-Day Mastery," but I was rather dumb and took a whole week to learn it. At that time, the machines at school only had win95, and only some 98 machines had the Biaoxingma input method installed. To install Biaoxingma on other machines, I could only use the input method generator built into Windows to generate the code table. At the time I wasn't very familiar with the Internet, so when I went online at places like Internet cafes, I could only use Intelligent ABC and the like. So I felt Wubi was still more universal. Although I mastered the Wubi input method during the May 1 holiday, I couldn't do two things at once, so in the end I gave up Wubi and continued using Biaoxingma. Actually, no matter what input method it is, practice makes perfect. For beginners, I still think Biaoxingma is faster. It's closer to a graphic style of memory, rather than stuff like Wubi's "wang pang qing tou..." and so on. The best thing about Wubi is that final-stroke identification method. Among shape-based codes, I still think Biaoxingma is the strongest. I don't know why Windows no longer includes it. What a pity. As for pinyin input methods, for people like us whose aoe pronunciation isn't accurate, typing is really hard work. Under linux, SCIM intelligent pinyin input is quite fast though. I wonder if any friend has the DOS Biaoxingma code table, the Win Biaoxingma one, not the 31-key Biaoxingma with 1234.
