Sylvain;

I think that the German's have the best bier! They even know how to spell it correctly! German's have purity laws for making beer and we in the United States have "purity laws" of a different type. I also like "Guinness", which was created by a German Brew Master and they still make it as the original method called for.

The "girls".

The problem is that the girls learned all too well from their father who was arrested for DWI. These girls have been cited more than once. I can hear daddy now, "Don't do what I do, do what I say"!

One nice thing about being rich or in high places in this country is that you can do just about anything you want and it does not matter too much. Just think about Ted Kennedy and the many others we have "leading us".

There is nothing like being perfect! Our leaders can tell you all about that subject! :)

>>In fact this conference, IMHO, is one of the best in the world. The exposure to developers from all over the world, combined with the hospitality of the German people, along with the excellent and plentyful food and beverages (they have this stuff called beer and it is really good) makes for a great experience.
