Wow. Haha.  (Bob checks ground for warmth, looks to the skies for signs of thunderclouds, etc.,.... wonders if the end is near...)

Welcome back Bernhard. :)

I thought I was dreaming when I saw this.

Alas the multiplicity of links....

Welcome back!  ;D

Bob, I think Nils can install that piece of software you requested now.  ;)

Wow!  The last couple weeks I have been reading his posts inside and out, and applying different principles in my piano practice 7x20/RNG's...  I found out he hasn't been on for ages and was very sad!  HE'S BACK!!  WHOA!  Welcome back!

Bob, have you checked the side-door to the lair lately?  I wonder if he slipped in through that door.  I noticed it was open the other day.

Welcome back Bernhard!

Indeed.

It is a sin, and according to Catholic Theology continued practice will make hair grow on the palm of one´s hand. :o

You do not know me, but welcome back, sir. You are a ray of light in this dark forum. Literally, since the background is black and names are yellowish.

Welcome back Bernhard, I have missed your insightful and witty posts.

Perhaps, if you feel up to it, you can fill us in where you have been and what you've been up to.
