Title: Hi and "Moin" from Germany
Post by: Tequila on April 07, 2010, 06:07 AM
Hi @all,

my name is Christian, and I am a system administrator from Berlin, Germany. I had my first C128D in 1987 and the next years we where inseparably. But as time goes by, I got other Computers and I lent my C128 to my brother in law. A big mistake, because he sold it without telling it to me....  >:(

So, after this horrible agony it took a long time (while I was at the navy), until I got a C128 again. Now I have 2 x 128D (1 plastic and 1 DCR), 2 x 128, 3 x 1571, 1 x 1084, 1 x 1081, and some peripheral stuff like a 1750 and so on.

I have been reading here sometimes and now I made it to register  ;)

So, I am glad to be here and hello to all members.

Welcome aboard, although I'm a bit surprised to hear of a red-blooded German imbibing a Mexican drink.   ???   That would be like an Aussie drinking Labatt's.

That 128DCR you have, does it have an ASCII/DIN key on the keyboard and the German language ROMs?

Welcome!  When I go to Germany, I usually hang out around the Essen area (the next time will be in 2011).  One day I will get to Berlin and Munich.

Truly,

Thanks for the nice welcome.

@BigDumbDinosaur: Yes, it has the German ROM and the ASCII/DIN key.

@BloodyCactus and RobertB: If you should reach Berlin someday, I will tell you the best places for a trip to Berlin ;-)

Welcome!

Several years ago I visited Munich and other places in the south of Germany and fell in love with it.

I stayed just long enough to learn the most important phrase in German: Ein Bier! :)

You are a lonesome boy if you need the phrase "Ein Bier"  ;)
Next time in Germany you should try: "Freibier für alle". You will have a lot of friends immediately. And please, don't forget to give me a call  ;D ...

Last time I did that I ended up broke.  I didn't realize there were that many people in the bar.  ;D

Oh, I already know that phrase - and I know enough not to shout it out in a crowded beer hall! :)
