    <description><![CDATA[Reports reveal a mysterious drop in the GDP of several countries in the last ten years.  Analysts have been concerned and perplexed.  But they have overlooked the telltale signs.  The blinking orange task bar, the familiar 'ping', the too-fast typing smirk and dexterous click of the mouse when the boss nears.  A decade of workdays have passed that much happier for office toilers since the miracle of MSN.  Hear about it, and its Chinese counterpart, in this podcast.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[I am just stunned to see a lesson on QQ and MSN on CPod!  I just found out about QQ maybe 4 months ago and have yet to understand everything I can do with it; usually I just guess what certain button's do. But on a more positive note...I'm really excited everytime I understand an Elementary lesson.  This means that I am making progress.  *YaY*  ]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[What a great lesson!  The height of technology in my Chinese textbook is the cassette tape.

BTW - you should have pointed out the MSN/QQ chat Chinese signoff:

        <description><![CDATA[So happy to find there are many people studying Chinese! I am a chinese, spending a lot of time studying English now! 
As to this discuss, I'd like to say MSN is more popular now in China, especially for people in work, 
Maybe students are more likely to use QQ.

        <description><![CDATA[One of my friends once jokingly told me that he was very proud of his sixteen-year old “multitasking” daughter. She can do several things very effectively at one time in front of her PC, such as watching a movie, eating snacks, net surfing, sending emails and short messages, making a cell phone call, and of course, chatting online. The problem is that she unfortunately has very poor “doing homework” function in her multitasking capability.
