Teut – PMJI, but this could get very interesting between our two names … <g> Greetings from Wisconsin. |-\\/

Hi, Todd Wiedemann, I smiled when I saw your name <g>. Do you have german ancestors? I live in germany… Teut

Teut – You bet I have German ancestors … even a beer with my last name on it here in the states. <g> Where are you located in Germany? I _believe_ that my ancestory is from the "south side" of the country. Just to keep this "forum happy", what are you using 3DS for? I am creating architectural fly-arounds and walk throughs for the building industry. Talk to you soon … |-\\/

Sorry to interupt, but believe it or not, I've been looking for the beer that carries your namesake for some time. It holds some nostalgic memories of college for me and some friends of mine. Maybe it just isn't marketed in this area anymore (KC). Oh, the hangovers!

Harley, I believe that the Weideman's beer you are seeking is (was ? ) being brewed in Cincinnati…famous for its old German brewing companies like Weideman's, Hudephol, Burger, Schoenling, etc. At least I think they are all Cincy beers. I drank enough of them when I was in high school in Kettering (Dayton). Mike

Harley – I _think_ I can still get it up here … Have a case displayed proudly near my render stations. If you want, I could try and get you some. E-mail me if you do. |-\\/

Cool! Let me know what it goes for up there. When I was in college, (mid-80's, University of Kansas) it went for as little as $2.89 a twelve-pack. Tasted better than Bud (at least we thought so).

Harley – Goin' shopping this weekend … I'll go to my favourite emporium and look for some for you. I'm not much (at all) of a beer drinker, so one case has been enough for me. <g> Now if I can only find someone with the last name "Absolut" … |-\\/

Todd, Thanks! (I think) If you bump into Absolut, or Stolichnaya, let me know. HH

Todd, I lived in Bavaria for 10 years, now I am in "Baden Wurtenberg", south of Stuttgart. Which part your ancestors came from? I use 3D Studio for Games. We need animations for a Science Fiction Role Playing Game and I am currently modelling some objects we need. My biggest problem is that the anims will run in lo-res (320×200 in 256 colors) and the textures must be changed in order to look good in that res. Teut

Servus Teut. Ich bin aus Muenchen, aber wohne seit 1975 in die U.S. (San Francisco). Mein Deutsch is jetzt nicht mehr so guht, aber macht spass manchmal auf Deutsh zu quaetschen <g>. John Tissavary (La Luna cie)

I moved here with my parents in '75 (I was 12 years old). I've always missed Europe, and would love to have moved back. But I don't care for the way things are going there right now. I was in BRD and Schweitz earlier last year, and the mood seemed very tense everywhere. The funloving European attitude had all but vanished =-(. I am, however, planning on doing buisness in Germany, Switzerland and other German speaking countries in Europe, so I'll be coming over sometime soon. Maybe by late spring or summer. Tschuess!

What buisiness do you do? Actually the european happines didn't vanish, its just that recession hit europe later than the US, but will (hopefully) go away as soon as there. We had a fabulous winter in the last weeks, so skiing is pretty popular at the moment as are car accidents (had my third withing three month, <g>) Teut

Sorry to hear about your car accidents. I'm in the animation buisness, my company is La Luna cie. I heard skiing is great this year. I may go to Zermatt in April if I can get some time and $$$.
