You must be into clairvoyance to be able to get this meaning out of what was
posted. The main problem is we don't see all those wonderful accents that
make European languages tick. If I try to transcribe the two little dots
called dierhesis by the letter 'e' following the accentuated letter (as is
normal practice in Europe if you have a dumb terminal the correct question is:
Welches ist der kraeftigste Computer in Oesterreich?
The answer:the Mupid, a development by the university of Vienna. As far as I
know its also the only austrian computers sold in numbers.  There's not much
information about it except that its strong in telecommunication and videotext.
For the rest Austria uses the same computers as Germany (and the rest of the
world for that matter).
Best wishes for '88 to everybody!
