Germany

Yesterday I travelled to Germany, to visit my family.
The ICE Vienna-Hamburg has new seats with more legroom. The TVs don’t show movies anymore, but only “Deutsche Bahn”-commercials and the power sockets don’t work. Additional the “Deutsche Bahn” has reduced the trainteams, so one german team drove us the whole way from Passau to Hamburg.
But well, I survived thanks to my iBook with its nearly 6 hours battery and an interesting Terry Pratchett book, “The Science of the Discworld”.
I just succeded getting a Netconnection with my iBook via the Windows98 box from my parents, which involved fighting with ZoneAlarm and Sysgate.
I already miss my ADSL line at home, ISDN is just too slow.
