Just noticed your location when you said euros...
Ja, das heißt nicht artig zu versuchen zu auslegen jene Betrag über Draht als "ein Baumfalke" (is Baumfalke the right word?), aber falls Sie anfertigen Draht.
Hopefully my German wasn't too painful to read. Hopefully you are German. LOL
Bill Stickers is innocent! It isn't Bill's fault that he was hanging out in the wrong place.

RPMiller, you just nearly caused me to die a painful but rather funny death! Yes, I am german and german is my first language, but what the hell did you try to say? Please, don't feel offended, but I have absolutely no clue what this was supposed to mean. It doesn't make any sense! (Hopefully my own posts don't cause confusion like this among the english speaking users!)
A baumfalke is a falcon! What does this have to do with graphic tablets?! Oh, wait, maybe you tried to translate the word 'hobby'?
There's no german translation for 'hobby'. The word is used in germany as well. But even if I replace 'hobby' with the translation for 'pastime' (Zeitvertreib), I'm still clueless.
This whole conversation reminds me of the killing joke from Monthy Python's Flying Circus. Cool, you just made my day! Awesome!
As for the freezing issue, I know that it was an issue with the graphire as well but that you could work around it by going in and editing some of the Gimp files. The other option for the graphire was that you go back to an older driver - which is what I ended up doing. That's probably not an option for the Bamboo. As a result I'd guess that there will certainly be a workaround by now for the Bamboo with Gimp. How painful it is, I don't know.
I have used the Bamboo on two laptops, so I am constantly unplugging the USB tablet. On my old machine, I used to get the freeze ups when lifting the pen from the tablet surface quite often. On my new machine (a more up to date driver), I have seen no such problems. GIMP still "looses" the tablet between runnings of GIMP if I have unplugged it, but even that problem seems to be less than before.Originally Posted by torstan

Yes, I couldn't remember a word for hobby so depended on babble fish to translate...

I'm glad I was able to give you a chuckle at least.

That's pretty darn funny(umm nonsensical) even when you translate it back into English. What WERE you trying to say?Yes, I couldn't remember a word for hobby so depended on babble fish to translate...

Based on what I wrote I was trying to say, "Yes, that is not good to try to explain spending that much money for "a hobby", unless you are making money..." or something to that effect... and I realized just now that I was using the wrong word for money. *smacks head* It should have been Geld not Draht. Draht is a telegram I think. Yea, German isn't easy especially when you try to go off memory...

What I find really funny is that 'hobby' is also an ornithological term for a subspecies of falcons.
Well, I think Babelfish is one of the worst translators ever. I don't know if there are good ones at all, but Babelfish is definitly not among them. A friend from california tried to translate one of the articles on my homebrews Wiki and did send me the translation. It was crazy! And the worst was, that he claimed that Babelfish would be a good translator and thought that the translation was accurate! The program turned my article in a text you would expect of truely cracked up madmen from the Arkham Asylum! Totally senseless and crazy as hell!
I think the problem is it looks at each word in isolation, which means it can get the wrong translation quite easily. I always thought babelfish was from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy while we are on the subject.
(I won't even try my german, it was bad after I finished school 14 years ago so will be awful now, I just about managed to get the taxi driver to get to my hotel a couple of months back when in germany, everybody else spoke english to me!)
