Well, the move itself was easy and quick alright -- we had to do the 
packing ourselves, but left the actual moving to a specialised company. Now 
we are facing the task of unpacking and giving everything a place.

We are still amazed at how much stuff came out of our small apartment: well 
over 80 boxes plus several smaller boxes and a few crates -- plus the 
furniture. The moving company showed up at 8 AM with a real big truck. 
While loading, they eventually had to call their office and ask for another 
(albeit smaller) truck...

And all that stuff came from one small, two bedroom apartment. Our new 
residence has four bedrooms, a larger living room (but a smaller kitchen) 
and a toolshed (and a garden of ~100 m^2 -- quite an improvement over the 2 
m^2 balcony we had). I do not even want to guess how much stuff will come 
out of *that* house if we move again in, say, 10 years from now...

The only bad thing about the move is the current condition of my desktop 
computer. It seems the second hard drive did not survive...   :(

BTW, I am somewhat disappointed with you people. When I downloaded my 
e-mail earlier tonight (after being off-line for almost a week) there were 
only approx. 135 Brin-L messages. For some reason, I had expected a lot 
more of them (250-300 or so). Should I post some controversial remarks to 
boost list traffic again?   <grin>
