- Little he knows. He can get so-called "master-disks" with exactly this
- upgrade for old A3000's free from the Braunschweig Service branch.
- There may be problems in the moment, as they move to a new building
- (a *much* bigger one :-), though.

-
- In such cases, they should talk to their "Vertriebsleitung". I'm not in
- that department.

- We had there two lines busy all day, but still much more people try to
- reach C= directly. I always wonder why. When I have problems with my car,
- I also don't call the manufacturer, but some service facility. And don't
- tell me anything about their competence! Ok, hotline: The Brauschweig
- enduser hotline is going to be closed. How this will be solved in future
- is yet to be decided by our new management (Helmut Jost leaves, Alwin
- Stumpf comes again after 8 years at At***), perhaps someone here in
- Frankfurt will have to take over, let's see.

- Sorry, what group(s) do you mean? You see, I'm not involved with this,
- perhaps someone other here in Frankfurt knows more.

-
- Hmm, until now my old-style bang path address in my .sig always worked.
- No, I did never get email from you. Every mail I get, gets answered.
- And I get much mail (so don't overuse this, PLEASE!)
