John, I am the oldest , I am sure, in age that is, will be 79 this month. All grandmas and greatgrandmas rejoice, you can learn about computers! - I do, once in a while, resort to some German expressions, simply to remind the gurus to keep it simple for us who don't speak computereeze. German to many of them will sound like computereeze to us. O yes, I usually come around the second time to translate . Last input meant : tell me , o wise one, how did you acquire such knowledge? - because I have never been ashamed or afraid to ask others! (P.S. a little resurrection of the German dictionary might be good for a brain exercise, or you might want to change the computer language into German. Has anybody tried that? I have been having a blast with that. Hardly know my own language, the way these technical expressions sound in German!) So I keep asking, and they keep answering. Incidentally, do any of you ever use the Apple discussions? They are a great resource. I had all sorts of iPod and iCal questions answered there. Thank them for my not addressing ALL my questions to the group! Here is an url for quick translations between English and German from the Chemnitz University to make life easier. http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/ Marta On Feb 12, 2005, at 10:30, Myoldog at aol.com wrote:
