Vielen Dank! I appreciate the lesson. And I studied German because it was offered in my high school (as was Spanish, but the dialect spoken here in Arizona is very annoying to my ears) and I had a German record by Kraftwerk and wanted to know what they were saying.... Bis sper!

Chip, That is the COOLEST reason I have EVER heard for taking a class. Was it "Computerworld"?

No, it was even earlier. It was "Autobahn" in 1976. (Wound up having a pretty full collection of Kraftwerk albums over the years. Haven't replaced them with CD's though....) I spent four years in High School and a year in college taking German classes. I don't think it was time wasted, either. Having a second (albeit not much of an international) language helped me when I lived in South America, because I already knew basics of a different language when I went to learn Portuguese.
