Meanwhile, the guy in the middle http://www.bernd-bock.de/zx81/Mahlerts2012/photo42.html is my brother Lucas.

So now we know who is responsible for all these "man in the middle attacks"
It's Lucas.

Hahah, the only person with beer. Typical.

Very nice. It does look like everyone had a really nice time. How many had to come from another country?
The reason I ask this is simple: People who live in the U.K. and sometimes in London say they can't go to a meeting because it's too far away, too expensive, too much traffic, yada yada.

Looks like the place where you guys were is really nice and far away from any city.

There were two from the united kingdom, two from poland, two from the netherlands and one from switzerland.
As far as I know thats it.
For us germans this was a very exceptional good meeting. We are very proud that our international guests made the effort to meet us. The guests from the netherlands and switzerland have already been there more often and they also speak german. For our guests from the UK and Poland english was our language of coumunication.
Of course there are also germans in our team that feel unsecure when they speak english as they are afraid to make faults. Those were happily helped by the others (who are used to make errors like me ) so there were no comunication problems that could not be solved.
For our polish guests, the petrol they needed cost a fortune (not to speak from their speeding tickets), so we know how high we have to praise their comming. For our UK guests, this comming to germany did not only cost a lot of petrol, but also involved to hire a car that was allowed to leave the Island, extra inshurance for germany and of course the ferry to germany and back. Seeing all these efforts I just begin to wonder why nobody visited us comming from the United States They "only" need to enter a plane, from what I hear this is every day work for people living in the USA. Unfortunately google maps can't find a route from Santa Ana to Mahlerts.
But yes, as you can see from the pictures we have our meeting in the "Outer RIM" that nobody would visit if there weren't Zeddys all around

Hey guys,
Looking at the pictures and the webcam-movie (as hard-working bees in the hive ), there was a very cool party - i really envy you I also liked the number plates
Regards,
Zsolt

Yes, it was great. As I supposed it to be.

Btw - I have to say that ZXpand seems really durable, hehe. It stood 2 parties throughout a month.
So it took its baptism of fire, hahahah. This means maybe I could take it for Atari party in two months.

Agreed Yerz Mine has stood a lot of abuse plugging and unplugging( purely accidental ) with power on and still works well.

They know how to build them in Oxford.

Moggy.
