I wouldn't have the slightest idea how to set it up though. Could you? Could someone on the list? I only have 100MB of space which is almost full. That's why I keep the items I post to a minimum size. Please post or e-mail (jonathankamm(a)mac.com) a list of items you would like. I always stay optimistic. Everything is available. With the internet the world is at you disposal. The items you are looking for may not be as rare as you think. One suggestion is eBay. It is a gold-mine of Yello treasures. Please everyone post a list of items you are seeking. I am sure if I can't, someone on the list will be able to help you. Happy Holidays, Jonathan

Not Yello Related

Hi All I've been turned on to a new service which some of you may already know about. It's called Skype.com and it offers free VOIP telephony between any 2 (or 4 for conference calling) computers on earth. I don't own shares in it, but I've been using it and it works pretty well. In addition, you can dial a standard PSTN telephone from a little popup, provided you pay them some Euros first for credit. I've also used this and was impressed by the quality of service. While it's not directly Yello related, I know that many people on the list collaborate for different purposes and this tool could be very useful. FYI Cheers Rory www.skype.com

Fwd: Dieter/Bryan show
by Laurens van Graft 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

I thought you would enjoy the thoughts that my wife had regarding the Ferry/Meier show from the fall. She is a big fan of Bryan Ferry, and was able to shed some valuable insight into his character which helps give the show much more meaning and depth. as an aside, she laughed a lot at the scene where Dieter gave Bryan the scarf. Her comment was something along the lines of " I love the way men give gifts. it was all over in just a few minutes. If that were two women, or a woman getting the gift, they'd have talked about it for hours.." I have to agree with her. She is very insightful! (that's one of the reasons why she is my wife!)

RE: [Yello] back to Durch Die Nacht

Laurens Well said, I agree with everything you mention, especially about Bryan Ferry. It was a cringeworthy performance for sure. I think he was at his most relaxed in Dieter's shop and that exchange was the most pleasant to watch because Mr. Ferry was actually a little animated. And Dieter *was* every bit the gracious host you say. Your summation is right on and a nice reminder of the vid. Which I haven't watched for a while. Cheers Rory -----Original Message----- From: yello-bounces+rfiler=sierrawireless.com(a)mailman.xmission.com [mailto:yello-bounces+rfiler=sierrawireless.com@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Laurens van Graft Sent: Friday, December 03, 2004 8:47 PM To: The; beautiful. The sun: even more beautiful. Subject: [Yello] back to Durch Die Nacht Well, I finally had the opportunity to view the whole video, thanks to Jonn and others. How unfortunate it was to have let the producers put such an introverted character, Brian Ferry, into the realm of such an artistic and knowledgeable extrovert, our hero, Dieter! I laughed and laughed at Dieter's very sharply honed whit, and felt so sad whenever I saw Brian, he looked so much like a fish out of water, and so shy. It was painful to watch him squirm about all the time. He must live such a sheltered life, that he doesn't know how to react in any situation, whilst Dieter had everyone in stitches, "Look at me, I'm an oil tycoon.... You can only trust me because of the hat I'm wearing!" While I get the gist of the series, have one popular artist get a personal tour of another's home (town), this was just such a poor match-up of characters, Brian looked as if he wanted to go home after the first two minutes. I almost swore that he was going to just run away at the end of the show, and not even get back into the car. I bet that as soon as the camera was off him then, he just started to sob with relief, glad that that whole unpleasant ordeal was over, then take a nap, as he looked totally exhausted (he's so British!) (and what the heck am I going to do with this scarf?). I also doubt that he'll ever turn up in South America either. Dieter, on the other hand was just what I expected him to be, A gracious host, proud of his own endeavors and achievements, and had set up a very fun day full of very interesting places to visit. any or all of them should have stimulated some interesting conversation and reaction from his guest, but he got nothing. I can only imagine how hard it was for him to 'drag' Brian around. Had Brian given any input, or showed any interest in any of the things or places he was taken, Dieter would have been able to adapt to the situation and taken him to more places that sparked some sort of reaction from Brian, but he got nothing. The result, would have been a total wash up, had it not been for the performance of Dieter! Laurens van Graft The Grip Guy All your gymnastics grip needs right here!

As far as I remember Boris lives in Zurich. It's Dieter who has a place in Malibu. No, Dieter lives in Silverlake, a suburb of Los Angeles
