>>>Hehe, maybe thats because more Germans are in the Internet than
>>>Frenchs and Finnish people? ;)
>>I don't know, but i fear that most German internetters have been on

>No, thats totally wrong. T-Online never established itself as a

I wasn't talking about T-Online as an internet replacement, but as a
network.
The first time i've heared about T-online was when i still read 64'er,
somewhere in 1989 or 1990, that was way before internet became popular.

>>I also noticed that a lot of Germans never even learned to read, write or
>>speak English...
>This is the older generation. If you finish "Gymnasium", you normally

In that case i've met very few gymnasiasts. I have been to Duesseldorf
once and the only one i could speak English with, was a Portugese guy...

>No, mails should reach me directly via har...@netcologne.de.

I've tried it again, do you have it now?

>>>>Oh, c'mon! Surely you have tried once in a while to draw something?
>>>Never, I don't have an idea how to start.
>>In that case, i'm gonna give you an assignment.
>>We'll start simple, draw me a square.
>LOL, let's see how i'd do that:

That's good, but i think you made that one in Arial, try it again, but
this time, use notepad to draw the square.
                     
>>>>>Hope you had a nice Halloween.

>>>Neither we do in Germany normally but it becomes more important from

>>I think not, most people here have banned even Santa Claus!

It's easy, we already have a Santa Claus-like holiday about 3 weeks before
Christmas, we call it Sinterklaas.
Sinterklaas is not fat, has a beard and wears red bisshop attire.
He looks a bit like this:

           /\
          ,||.          /  \
         / || \        |    |
        |  ||  |       \  \/
        |__||__|        \
        (((())))        |
        ) o  o (        |
        (((())))        _
       /(((())))\    /\(_)
      /  ((()))  \  /  \|
     /    (())    \/    |
    |                  /|
    |   |       \     / |
    |   |        \   /  |
    |   |        |\ /   |
    |   |        | ~    |
    |___|        |      |
     (_)         |      |
       |         |      |
       |         |      |
       |         |      |
       |         |      |
       |_________|      |

This holiday is to celebrate the birthday of the bisshop of Mira, who
secretly gave golden apples to 3 sisters to prevent that they'd became
prostitutes out of poverty.

>Guess we're totally offtopic now. :)

I don't think so, i'm giving you an ASCII-art course for beginners :-))
