greetings from sunny Finland. I recently found my old QL in
my father's attic and am going to put in some quality

people active around this piece of hardware.
Is it the Finnish or English version of the QL?
A few days ago I bought a Finnish version (MGY ROM) on eBay.
I made a few pictures and put them on my Windows Live Photo
Gallery. See:

There's a stricker on the bottom of my Finnish QL. It seams
to have a sentence in both Finnish and Swedish.

It reads:
SINETIN MURTAMINEN KIELLETTY
FÖRSEGLINGEN FAR EJ BRYTAS
Could you please translate this for me?
Greetings from Switzerland, Urs
Is it me, or does that machine have two R letters on the keyboard with
no apparent difference between the two?
Looks like someone had simply lost a key:

BTW to reply to what John (in Wales?) said about line broken URLs.
Two solutions:
1) still can break:
<URL:http://thisisalongURL_thisisalongURL_thisisalongURL_thisisalongURL_thisisalongURL_thisisalongURL_thisisalongURL_thisisalongURL_thisisalongURL_thisisalongURL_thisisalongURL_thisisalongURL_thisisalongURL_thisisalongURL_thisisalongURL_thisisalongURL_.htm>
2) see http://tinyurl.co.uk - *always* works.
