I was four years old, the picture was shot six months after a nearly lethal accident - I fell into a door made of glass then and was extremely seriously wounded, so this picture means a lot to me. I still remember a lot of details of this horrible incident although I was just three and a half years old.

Glad you survived it, I did something similar as a kid, tried to climb up the old wringer washing machine to see the works inside. Trouble was it was three legged an I pulled it over on top of me. Still have the scar under one eye.

Traffic level makes a huge difference in how 'tightly' a place has to be moderated. Around here, looks to me like it's easy enough for users to adapt to a bit of topic drift without losing track of everything. And it's what conversations naturally want to do....

It was one of the last famous audio/video brands of the 20th century of Germany, like Telefunken, Grundig, SABA, Dual, Nordmende...

At last they did produce nothing else than expensive but extremly high quality television gear. That was a blind alley. People in Germany buy LG and Samsung and such stuff, probably of acceptable quality as well but not the legendary "Made in Germany" standard.

If somebody of you would ask me: "So did you buy such a TV in order to support this brand?" I would answer: "I wish I could have done so, but - much too expensive."

It is always the same. There is one thing that is astonishing to me: why did this factory survive so much longer than the other brands mentioned above, they all went to hell, killed by Asia, in the eighties and nineties.
What created their excellence still lives, and will find other opportunities to emerge. It's easy enough to see that everything passes, but everything is reborn too.
