Well. ;-) I perhaps should have been more translator-friendly in creating
the text. As it is, I used quite a lot of proverbs and tongue-in-cheeks
that just plainly create confusion if you feed them to babelfish. For
example, I wrote 'Grundalgen' (ground algae) which is a deliberate spelling
mistake for 'Grundlagen' (basics) because so many people get stuck there
already.  :-)

I would be perfectly willing to help anyone out in translating, if there
are people here that would like to start. It's just that I don't have the
time for the whole thing. :(

  If a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port,
    And the bus is interrupted as a very last resort,
      And the address of the memory makes your floppy disk abort,
        Then the socket packet pocket has an error to report!
