Yes, fresh air. Thank you Thorsten, I do accept your apology, even
though I never thought that you really meant harm... The Tueschen thing
was quite a laugh, wasn't it?  Abour your other post, yes, 'entfremdung'
is a very handy German word, German being an agglutinative language --
the corresponding English words 'estrangement', 'alienation', or plainly
'cooling off'.

And, Thorsten, I never had the Analyst D ++, but did own a Supper-Conny.
What a wonderful machine, I simply loved it.  Of Kaplan's programs I
also had a Simultano and a Turbo King, and still have a small Turbo 16K.
Their great shortcoming seems to have been lack of king safety.

Regards,
Djordje.
