.. and Germany is the proverbial "service desert", SCNR :) [There is always a point of truth in any proverb :]
Well, the proverb is not true. Ask any German who lives in the US for a while, I mean really "living" here, that measn you have to do the everyday stuff, like paying bills, etc., and don't just stay in a company apartment and don't care about the daily stuff. I can tell you I sometimes feel like I'm abck in the sixties (ok, I was born in 72). You send checks(!) via snail mail(!!) and when they get lost(!!!) they turn your phone connection off from one day to the next. And try to get this fixed, it's like talking to robots. In Germany they may not sound very nice, but they actually HELP when this should happen (well, we've computers, and the first time in my live I sent money via the Psot Office was ii this country). Speak of service.
Michael, I lived in Ansbach for 2 and a half years. I still miss the place. I have never been treated better by a community in my life. The service I received in every regard was superlative! If there is anything that the German people excel at, it is service to one another. Now, there is one way to be sure to get bad service from a German. Insult him. BTW, do you Folks at SuSE de set your computer clocks by the rail service?
