As a matter of fact I am originally from Munich and should have been raised with beer instead of milk...

But the only time I ever drank beer from a one-liter Glass was really in Spain :-) We had a night stop in Barcelona and between checking into the hotel and looking for a place to have our evening meal my colleague and I stopped at some place for a beer. The waiter recognised us as germans and without asking brought us the largest glasses of beer that he could find... Luckily we didn't have an early take-off the next morning so we could enjoy them.

And I was one of the lucky few (few = 800.000) people who got tickets for one of Adele's concerts in Munich this summer. During her performance she showed her audience how you drink in style: From one litre beer mugs. Unfortunately I missed the opportunity to buy one of these "Adele in Munich"-mugs because now they fetch prices similar to an HP-67 with working card reader.

And on topic: As I wrote on another thread, I have my gear for flashing/repurposing HP-20b, HP-30b and HP-15C CE calculators up and running. And I ordered some extra sheets of keyboard stickers for WP34s and WP31s calculators which I already received in record time from the US.

Max

(The screen at Adele's concert was the largest outdoor screen ever built: 220x30m or 6.600 square meters - my HP-15C does not have enough digits to show how many times it's own screen would fit inside the large one ;-) )
