 My Christmas this year started pretty early. End of November I got - for the first time in my life - a new car, which was not produced in Germany. Since about 23 years I do have a drivers license (continuously) and I have had cars from Opel, Volkswagen, BMW and Audi.This time I decided to move away from these German vendors. I saw an advertisement in the German television about a new car called Skoda Superb, produced in Czech Republic. The advertisement made me very interested in the car, so finally I went to a local dealer and he gave me a presentation of that car. After about 20 minutes (it takes a little bit to see all the benefits and nice things of this car) the dealer did ask me, if I would like to do a test drive.
I said "No" and the dealer was very surprised. But after letting him know, that I already made my decision to buy that car, he turned into a very positive mode again. Finally I did not lease the car through him, because I got much better pricing through a leasing organisation. So just a few days before the Open Horizons EMEA Summit I got my new car and I´m still so satisfied with it, it is the best car that I ever had in my life. Of course there are cars, which have more comfort, more horsepowers, more whatever, but the price performance ratio is incredible.This was my pregift number one before chrismas.
The second one is GroupWise 8. Within my little own company in Ahaus we got GroupWise 8 installed over the weekend. So this morning my computer did ask me, if I would like to install the new client. After some minutes everything was done without any issues and I could get the first experiences with GroupWise 8. I still probably only have played around with ony a few new features, but its great, really great. The developers at Novell did a terrific job on the client side (maybe as well on the backend, but I´m just a user - nothing more). So the new client is really a huge thing for me - have a look at the new contact folder.....
So I already got two huge gifts before chrismas even started
