"Yep, that instrument used to be called a "Kabelbeschußgerät" here in
Germany. Nowadays they fall under the firearms regulations, which made
them a royal pain in the back end to own and operate, so they're
actively being replaced by remote-operated pneumatic equivalents now. > >Dimitrij "

Damn shame about gun control. One of these days you might need one. Over here, there are about 50 million of us who will tar and feather any politician starts that shit. And BTW, while I am too old to learn a new language, I really like German. you guys can say in one word what it takes up a paragraph to say. Of course you got words with like 43 letters that we USians will never understand.

Like BMW or someone came out with a head design for a car engine - tricellular combustion chanber. Something likt that. Took three words in English to describe, German can do it in one. I like that.

Actually, the entire German language vocabulary is significantly smaller
than the English one. Germans don't have specific words for things like
you assume they do; they simply run separate words together by removing
the spaces in between, so by way of example in English, you would have
the warning sign: "treebranchfallingoffdanger" in public parks and such
like. This can make for some incredibly long and intimidating looking
words to foreigners who are unfamiliar with the practice.

It was gifted by someone on one of the sci.electronics newgroups.
I, for one, appreciate it. It will save to your HD but I couldn't
get it to run in Firefox right so it is saved in MHT format, which
means my copy will only open in IE. You might have different results,
or as they say YMMV.

Glad you like it. I enjoyed writing it. I'm surprised it doesn't work
in your Firefox though - it does for me, both from the web and from the
saved files. Are you sure you saved it correctly?

And the Welsh place name

I heard the english word
