Hi Daryl!

 DS>   Hi, Barry...long time, no type. <G>

Figured you were busy getting your BBS on the cloud.  (Good thing I
caught that typo: left one of the b's out of BBS!)


 BM> (Customer, who had doubtlessly heard the incorrect pronounciation
 BM> before)  It's "Pijz" - a French name -- and gave a brief history of the
 BM> name's history which I've forgotten.  He was somewhat impressed I could
 BM> pronounce it correctly when told how as it's not a sound in English.
 DS>   Sort of the like the commercial for this "Babbel" language

I probably should have tried something like Babbel to (re-)learn German,
instead did it mostly text-based (essentially phrasebooks and created 
notes).  My overall learning mode has always been via texts so just 
automatically went the same route.



 BM> ... How deep is a frog pond?  Nee..deep, nee..deep
 DS>   I thought I toad you about that one. <G>

I'm a slough learner.
