Meindert Kuipers
Message #1 Posted by Donald Leonard on 20 June 2005, 9:27 p.m.

Sorry to have to use this forum for this. I experienced a total hardware failure with my WebTV set top box and lost all of my favorites/folders and e-mail address book contents. There are no replacementv WebTV boxes available so I had to cancel my WebTV service. I have no other way to contact you about my new e-mail address for MLDL2000 communication. I can be reached at

peggyordon@dslextreme.com

for anything regarding the future purchase of my MLDL2000 unit.

Don

WebTV is that popular in Germany?

Actually, *I* am Meindert Kuipers, and I just had my AOL service go out on me. The tech support was so bad, they blew up my modem, and I have no replacement. My new email address is hbo@egbok.com. Send all the money you have to me via PayPal at that address.

Anyone else want to be Meindert for an Internet minute? 8)

I confirm completely with the response of Matthias - with MLDL2000 Meindert Kuipers created a great hardware storage system and rom emulator for HP41. Do not use this forum for injure this great project.....

With best wishes - Christoph Klug

Is there some reason to believe that Donald Leonard really speaks on behalf of Meindert Kuipers? My satire was based on the belief that the original message was a "troll" by someone pretending to be Meindert. If I was mistaken in this, I offer my sincere apologies. On the other hand, sometimes humor has a hard time crossing cultural lines. Please be assured I meant no disrespect to Meindert Kuipers or his fine work. In fact, I'm in line to receive one of the first batch of MLDL2000 boards.

I thought the original message was from someone buying a MLDL 2000 from Meindert and who had lost Meindert's details so could not contact him.

My apologies to Don and to Meindert. See my "I'm a Dummy" message earlier in this thread. I misread the original with (hopefully) funny consequences.
