Many germans saw France as a kind of "sworn enemy"...               I have never cared for the Froggies.        Except for the days of Napoleon they were all bluster and show, but when       push came to shove they turn to jelly.        There's an old saying, "For sale. French army rifle. Never fired.       Dropped once".               >> JM> If I'm not mistaken, that's were Nero (who makes a burning program) is       located.       >        > I've just looked it up: Yes, that's right :)       > I wasn't aware of that :)               I've using Nero for many years and to me the ONLY burning program to use.        :)        Joe       --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5        * Origin: Fido Since 1991 | QWK by Web | BBS.FIDOSYSOP.ORG (1:123/140)       SEEN-BY: 1/120 123 15/0 18/0 200 19/36 90/1 105/81 106/201 116/18       SEEN-BY: 116/116 120/302 340 457 123/0 10 25 35 40 115 126 131 140       SEEN-BY: 123/150 160 170 180 190 257 755 124/5016 129/305 135/300       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 30 40 50 700 203/0 218/700 220/80 90 221/0       SEEN-BY: 221/6 222/2 226/30 227/114 201 702 229/101 424 426 428 452       SEEN-BY: 229/664 981 1016 1017 230/150 152 240/1120 2100 5138 5411       SEEN-BY: 240/5824 5832 5853 249/206 307 317 400 250/1 261/38 100 1466       SEEN-BY: 266/512 267/155 275/100 280/464 5003 282/1031 1056 288/100       SEEN-BY: 291/100 111 292/854 299/6 300/4 310/31 317/3 320/119 219       SEEN-BY: 322/757 340/400 341/66 342/200 396/45 423/120 633/280 640/1321       SEEN-BY: 712/848 770/1 801/161 189 2320/105 2452/250 2454/119 3634/0       SEEN-BY: 3634/12 15 24 27 50 5020/1042       PATH: 123/140 261/38 3634/12 154/10 280/464 240/5832 229/426           |
