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
