Skydoc, HIPPO,
Thanks again for the great input, this really helps me to decide.
HIPPO, you very familiar with our TUV did you also live in Germany at one time like Skydoc?
Skydoc, yes I'm a Bavarian native. You probably know that we are proud of our Free State. I was born in Munich, but grew up and live now Southeast of Munich in a small town close to the Chiemsee. How do you like it back in the States?
I used to live in Northern California twice ('88-'90 and '97-'00), I really miss the States. The great thing about my job is, that I visit CA once a quarter. Since you know the area I live in, I think you can agree it's not to bad either here in Southern Germany. The snow has melted and the beergardens are start to open again, love the Spring.
I already like this forum, looks like great people here.
Wednesday is the day, can't wait.
