(including several scandinavian and russian characters in the password which are never used in the dutch language, the Æ for example) People that have the distinct accent is most people born before 1960... Well those people, and most politicians... (the breaking point is when British and American TV-series started kicking in on dutch tv) ![]() ontopic: Gogo Ret the uberdroner! gotta support fellow dutchmen ^^ | ||
