As said the trademark is only valid for the united states , so handhelds.org has no right to claim anything in Europe. I understood completly what you are saying florian and maybe it is an idea to make an official statement about it . I also read on handhelds.org that he is quoting you. So I will not get in touch with handhelds.org. Ruben is owning opie.nl and probarly gpe.nl as well. Regards, Gerwin -- The Holographic Klop Doctor - 0 - | \|\ |/ | /| _|_| Underneath the mango tree :)
