Hi Bertil,

I read your eMail.
My English is not good enough to give a good answere.
I wrote all in German in CSS Forum.

But I believe that a lot of your points are interesting.
Bertil, I hope it is OK for you if I answere later of your text, I must have
more time for this, I mean to answere in a bad but an English which can
understand other readers.

Best
Frank

Bertil, not all is bad on the SSDF rating list, I like the list a lot of years
and ... in German ...

Bin ja computerschachmäßig mit der Liste selbst aufgewachsen ...

but at the moment I think is the rating list not very interesting and I am sure
my little CCE list with one PC is also not the best but the organisatisation for
readers is better.

I will write later more ...
