- So Johan do all the people in europe walk around with that big a chip on their
- shoulders or just you. Three of four people asked for more information and you
- didn't reply. I figured if I was rude enough you might respond looks like it
- worked. Now how rude do I need to get to get an address for "Datormagazin" and
- maybe get an issue number. If not a direct address for the supplier. You see
- you are the only person that has seen this and you don't give out enough
- information for me to inquire on my own. I reserve the right to make up my own
- mind if it is too expensive. (You know those Americans they have more money
- than brains anyway) First I need the ability to see the info. Easy for you,
- you are there with access to this mag I on the other hand am across the big
- pond, long way to swim, many sharks. Those intercontinental phone bills are
- murder too. So If you could gather up enough useful information that we could
- make an informed decision us folks here in the entire civilized world would be
- much in your debt.
-
- Thanks for any help and lighten up life is to short to get mad so much.
