Re: [NTLK] Question about OS-language

Hello Sonny,
although I've just contacted Christian directly for his offer you met
my idea just right:
In fact it is always a handicap to operate an english system. If you
are not used to think in the language, if it is a "foreign" language,
than you have to switch all the time. That makes no sense for
everydays usage.
As you might remark, my english isn't too good. Just good enough to
tell you some of my nonsense and to understand most of your
interesting ideas :-)

I mentioned my MP 2100 also because I would sell it perhaps...
I've still my german one too.

Anybody interested?
I even have an US-Charger!
Condition is very good with exception of the nearly dark backlight.
But I have no idea about the price.

To come back to difficulties of a foreign system: Of course I want to
use the newton to type in german language. The onscreen keyboard
doesn't know anything about typical german types like those which
combine ue, ae, oe in one type. Or what about writing in French???
OK, last was the essay of a joke :-))

Why do we have so many languages on earth?
That's surely a part of the problem...
