   In a message on Monday 11-06-16 Roger Nelson said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   Good morning again Roger,   
      
    HG> Hejsan = Howdy Roger,   
      
   RN> I thought that meant "Hello".   
      
   It's a hello that mostly is used between friends you know, while 'Hej'   
   is mostly used between people that you are not familiar with.   
      
   RN> UTC+6 here this morning.  I suppose the majority of the people   
   RN> wanted DST. Nobody asked me.   
      
   Most people here are fed up with 'summer time', not least the farmers.   
   Actually, we want to use swedish, ie. west european time, because the   
   only official language here is swedish, despite that the rest of Finland   
   is officially a bi-lingual country.   
      
   We are enjoying swedish TV and radio programs, but we also have the   
   finnish channels available.   
      
   The problem is, that swedish time is UTC +1hr and finnish time is UTC +2   
   also called east-european-time (eet), but we are a west european country   
      
    HG> Lately my body has accepted the time change very well, but even   
      
   RN> My body still rebells against it.   
      
   I don't understand why my body doesn't rebell anymore.   
      
    HG> it seemed to be very similar to Unix, (that we call Linux), with   
    HG> commands like mount etc, for adding capabilities.   
      
   RN> I didn't get into the DOS part of it because at the time, I was more   
   RN> interested in the BASIC functions it used.  Very similar to IBM or   
   RN> MS BASIC and I had only that one Amiga BASIC program to convert.   
      
   I left Basic very soon after having acquired my first computer 1982.   
      
   To make large and fast programs I started using assembler, and later   
   I learned Turbo Pascal and also tried Turbo C. I stuck with Pascal.   
      
      
   Regards,   
      
   Holger
