1) Oroboros (its the new do anything unit, its very complex though)

Do they have a website, not having much luck with google?

That's probably because the name is misspelled.
It's Ouroboros from Closed Circuit Research

Two more sites with info, the 2004 DEMA report on the Ouroboros and Ron Micjan's article and teardown .

Thanks. What's funny is how many other sites and message boards I found with the same wrong spelling!

Hey if your average RBist can't even manage to spell "Drager", what chance to they have with Ouroboros?

When it comes to names, KISS has the right idea.

Vance,

What chance does the average RBist have if the premier Oxyhacker himself can't spell it either?

If you use the spelling with just the "a", to be correct it should have the umlaut over it, which I note in passing that neither you nor I seem to have in our special character files!

Interestingly, the factory seems to use both that spelling and the (I assume) Anglicised version of "Draeger" interchangeably, judging by their web-site and their press releases.

The company web-site is listed as:

www.draeger.com

Cheers!

You dont need it in your special file.. just use the character map function in windows (its in the system font)
or use the numberic keypad (cant use regular numbers, and dont forget to hit numlock), while holding down the alt key type in 228 and y64 w533 get
ä

Or use a Mac. option + u gives the the umlaut, see: ¨
All you have to do is decide on which letter you want it.

You gotta be kidding. All that for two little dots ... :11:

Luckily Rob is correct, ae for ä is acceptable in German.
Any decent online dictionary will recognize and translate it.
Same for oe and ue for ö and ü, respectively.

That was the joke, son.

Anyhow, we used up all our umlauts early this month, and were flat out when I made that post.

Hey Vance,

I realized that was the joke, podner, but ya gotta remember that I hang around with Stefan and Joe, and these guys (much as I love 'em) sit up late at night thinking about stuff like this!! :lol: :lol:

It's actually perfectly correct, in terms of German grammar, to spell it Dräger or Draeger. An umlaut over a vowel implies an e after that vowel; it's just that German-language purists (grammar Nazis!!! yes, I just went there) don't like it when people don't use umlauts.

Attention site mods: How come I can't use the standard &...; tags, like ä for ä? Plsfixkthx.
