Fountain pens don't need to "wear in". A good FP should write smoothly out of the box, else the nib (the tines) aren't aligned correctly or there's some other problem.
My Pelikan M800 Fine was very smooth out of the box, like it was supposed to be.
Hmm. What I mean here is that even for getting a good overview of the technologies involved, you sometimes need to explain the lower levels a bit.
This book isn't primarily aimed at techies (like myself), but also at people who might not be interested in all the low-level detail. When a technical dive is needed to get the picture, it's explained very clearly, so even non-technical people like managers can understand what's going on.
I agree that that sentence is a little vague, but English is not my native language. I do my best:)
Apart from the 1 year of German, you should try to take 1 year of geography as well. The name may look 'German' to you, but it is really Dutch.
It is very nice of you to offer help with the translation of German grammar into English, but in this case, it isn't necessary. Rowan is Dutch, not German.

Dammit. I can't even correct myself correctly! November, 1998. Sorry.
Whoops :-) Yes, November 1999.

$1 is about 2 NLG (Dutch guilders). So it's about $45.
