The Coffee... (has had it?)

Yesterday we decided to go out for dinner. Iris felt a little tired after a hard week of working. So she had a hard earned nap on her swing. We took an hour or so for going to our restaurant, making some photos. (Botanical Gardens, campus of our tech. university) When the time comes, she lies still there and had sweet dreams of sour gherkins!! How to wake her up?

I made a strong coffee, placed it on her workstation and started a song on



Listen to the music and you can understand the message : "The coffee is ready"
(doesn´t sound it amazingly tenderly....
...when the first sunrays falling on your mind...
...does it not sound lovely???

(if you listening to the sound and you are not a native austrian, you will understand only a little bit less than me).

On the way to our cow:
High-Tech. build in Braunschweig! The window to the past showed us: Commodore Business Machine (short CBM) Science-fiction becomes truth!! Now we have the possibilities to: e-mail, internet, international communication (in realtime, also spaceflight and interplanetary roboting!!
What a machine....



30 years ago this all started here in Braunschweig. Today when I go to the post office, buying a stamp I see computers and post-officers working: A stamp? 55ct? OK: then scanning the barcode, type in the ID-code, verifying the result on the sreen (twice is better)then the final "Enter" ( or was it return??)
Silence......
System came up to ready! ...and....
acknowledgment of receipt has been taken!!
