Gustav.... Its Flemish.... And its very confusion because Flemish is not a language... Flemish people speak Dutch. Dutch is Nederlands (like they speak in The Netherlands (Holland)) and not Dutch as in Deutschland (Germany) whom speak German and not Dutch... So Flemish is a person from Vlaanderen which is the north side of Belgium. But, because in The Netherlands (Holland) other Dutch words are used than in Vlaanderen (Flemisch) it sounds like a different languages but they are not. Its like English USA and English UK or Australia, etc... Same language but different use of words and pronanciation... Same thing for the south side of Belgium but in Belgian-French and not French-French... Is anyone still with me on this, because I'm starting to doubt on myself here....

By the way, Andy, we have here a broker who can supply (mostly IBM) machines localized for many European countries. These machines are, oddly, very hard to obtain at the normal broadline distributors. /gustav > Date: 2003-10-10 11:36 > :-) > Thats the advantage of beeing in a country with tree offical languages > and the EC in Brussels...
