Subject: More on Germany...
Date: Thu, 6 Oct 1994 04:08:03 -0400
Remember the recent discussion about German names for things,
etcetera? Well, here's something that'll give us hopelessly
English-centric people a bit of an edge -- I just discovered a translator
on the World Wide Web!
The link is 'http://www.fmi.uni-passau.de/htbin/lt/lt2html', and
it includes both English to German and German to English translation.

Now, every time somebody mentions a new resource on the 'Web,
somebody else says something like "WHAT THE HELL ISTHE WWW AND HOW DO I
USE IT!!!!!!!!!?" Since no two systems are configured in exactly the
same way, the only correct response is "Contact your system administrator
for information on accessing the World Wide Web."
