Seems to me that this crowd will appreciate this.
Which country has the coolest looking Special-Forces?

Is it surprising to find Umlaute on german keyboards?

Yes it is Falk, I personally was so shocked by it, that I could not stand up for an hour.

I guess my lack of travel experience leads me to assume things that I would otherwise realize. So they just put those keys on there? I thought there was some sort of Alt + [button] you had to press or something like that.

No, we have all Umlauts here: ä ö ü Ä ö Ü ß,
then the z and y key are changed, as we need the z more often than the y. At least, some of the signs have different positions.And that is only one other keyboard. The Scandinavians, the French, probably the Turks will have other keyboards, and don’t forget all those that use a different alphabet.

Excellent! I would have asked about the Scandinavians, but don’t they all speak different languages? I would guess the Turks definitely, as they use the Cyrillic alphabet :-? .

The only one I can think of like that is where everyone gets eaten by blancmanges from outer space. :D

The Scandinavians all speak different languages, but they use the same letters (exception are the Finnish, who use Umlaute quite a lot).
For turks…… never say to one of them that they use the kyrillic alphabet.

Really feel sorry for the Russian Spetsnaz… they totally went downhill after the USSR fell (less-equipped)

Well, they did have that successful raid on the theater full of terrorists. :P
Only killed about half the hostages… :wink:

Weren’t those the Russians? :wink:
