No, not really, in 1971 Philips offered me a job in Eindhoven to be trained as a hardware support guy. After the training I was supposed to go to the Middle East. Never did happen though. I've been home several times and roamed around a bit. Last time was 1991. Mams told me she'd burn my clothes if I ever went to the "red district" in Amsterdam :-) "Uh-oh. Time for another crash course in Dutch geography." Mams, lives in 's Gravenhage (now tell me how's anyone going to know where that is? :-), while growing up, we used to travel between Peru and The Netherlands -- spent time (1962) at the Maerlant - lyceum. Also lived in Zwammerdam and go to school in Alphen aan de Rijn. Used to get behind the "bromvietsen(sp?)" and get sucked up in the draft -- real fast way to get to school.
