Congratulations and welcome back ! I'm a US user, but I understand the
thrill. I was a 20-something in the 80's, so my experience was a bit
different than yours (I was the first in my fortune 100 company to use
an Apple II for actual WORK back in 1981. I even wrote my own program
to compare invoices back then :)
