...its a damn long way...of waiting, though...;) |

|
| 48 |
I am currently downloading the data (Only Europe)...this will be a |
| 49 |
journey of two days uninterrupted waiting. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
And -- if murphy will be good to me -- only one file (there are two of |
| 52 |
them) is the wrong one and has to replaced by another 20GByte file |
| 53 |
lateron. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Will see.... |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Next in this cinema: "The incredible download from Mars -- Episode II: The revenge of the forgotten bytes" |
