I happened to attend one of the German events on Monday ;-)

If I hadn't wasted so much time on doing quick demos of various things
from the agenda (ok, maybe doing the demos wasn't really a waste of time
compared to just flipping slides), I might have found the time to show
the two slides on Perl/iX and GNU C/C++ ... which are still unsupported
freeware. I guess the class mentions them to make students aware of the
whole area of available freeware (not all people know about it...)

Cheers, Lars.
