Slightly off-topic, but all kinds of people/nationalities are on
these lists. North Americans, Western Europeans, Australians...
Haven't seen so many French/German/Italians here, though, not to
mention "Eastern Europeans"/"Former 'behind the Iron Curtain'"-
people. Maybe Macs bever made it so far east, and the French/German
are happy enough on their own-speaking forums? (Remember, all
foreign films/TV-series are dubbed in France/Germany (& Italy), so
English hasn't become so widespread as in smaller countries (the
Scaninavian countruies, for exampe, where English (American) movies/
TV-seires are subtitled instead of dubbed).
Still, Macs are international and i'm certain came with localised
systems WAY before Micke$soft.

as you can see from my .de mail from where I am - I have to rush in
for our middle europe staff :-)
This list is kinda elusive - Here are geeks that have more skills and
knowledge than most of those in the german groups I'm in.
Plus there is the language barrier.. Most of us can rather read than
write english. I know I write crappy babytalk english but I don't
care :-))
We learn(ed) a lil english in school - but imho it was useless for
the real world. Our english teachers had a horrible accent. I, for
myself, had the "luck" to hang around with some kids of US soldiers
in my youth to learn some real-life words :-}
Plus my Apples (since 1980) and later the internet weren't too bad
teachers :-D
btw all my systems talk english - as this causes less trouble and
localization issues.
cheers,
Sven
