DavidMil Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 www.mathyvannisselroy.nl He has some neat 8 bit mods, including piggy backing a second PIA to get the extra 2 joystick ports back, and a way to replace the CO25953 on 130XE's. Among other things... I'm curious to know if anyone know this gentleman/site. DavidMil 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidMil Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hello David Nope, never heard of him. Sincerely Mathy Hello Mathy, nice to "meet you". I just saw your site today. I intend to give it a good going over tomorrow. There is a tremendous amount of info on your site. I believe I shall be happy for several days looking at it. Thanks, David Milsop Kingwood, Texas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMil Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hello David Nope, never heard of him. Sincerely Mathy One thing you will learn about me is that I am always want to understand things... sometimes strange things. My parents lived in the Hague for several years in the late 80's. Before they left the US they called your country The Netherlands, but when they got back they said everyone there preferred that you call it Holland. So which would be a more correct way to name your country? Also my dad was thrilled that softball was right up there with soccer as a favorite sport (but he hated the wooden shoes).

+skr Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 I think, Mathy totally prefers "The Netherlands". He doesn´t like it if we Germans call him a "Holländer". Actually this naming thing with The Netherlands is quite easy, just watch this explanation: 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Both Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 This video is unbelivable cool. My hometown is >now< next to the dutch border. The "relationship" of our countries was quite difficult because of the second world war. So after the war, there was a bit of an iron curtain instead of a "normal border". Remember that the european union isn't that old at all... During the 70's there was a wonderful commercial in german tv. A commercial about cheese To make the germans confusion complete, they sung the song "Mrs. Antie brings cheese from HOLLAND" in that commercial. So you may guess, what a whole generation... yes... including myself. When I met my wife, I made a (that!) move from the french to the dutch border, where I learned most of the details explained in that clip. But, while watching it today, I learnd A LOT more ! Thank you for that funny and educational clip !!! Stefan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Both Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 well the song is from the 80's, but "Frau Antie " commercials are much older. I mixed it up Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hello David Thanks for the compliment. (Thanks to all others too) Enjoy the reading! What's not mentioned in the video, IIRC, is that especially people from the provinces South- and North-Holland call our country "Holland". A lot of the people in the rest of the country call those in the western part in our country "Hollanders". Unfortunately, those same people often call themselves "Hollanders" when abroad. But the official name is "the Netherlands". BTW softball isn't that hot in the Netherlands. Sincerely Mathy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 Hello Stefan You might not have notices, but you are writing "Antie", which means "sister of one of my parents" in English. It's "Antje", which would translate to "Annie". Sincerely Mathy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually this naming thing with The Netherlands is quite easy, just watch this explanation: I'm not sure if you're a genius or a very sick person to say that the explanation is easy. I have watched that video twice and my head is still spinning. It was like watching a machine gun of information. I guess it is something you all have dealt with all your lives, so it makes sense to all of you. I have to say that it was cool. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like it is a combination of personal and family history as well as what part of the Netherlands you live in; and to a smaller degree who you are talking to, that makes one say either Holland or Netherlands. Thanks to everyone for the information and the videos! David PS. Stefan, I love stuffed Bell Peppers, but here in Texas we smother them in Ketchup and sometimes onions too. Nice commercial from a simpler time! DM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your statement is absolutely right I really don't mind if people call our country The Netherlands or Holland It is a matter of personal opinion.

Stormtrooper of Death Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 IF you think the video about the Netherlands is a bit confusing, try the explanation of the Belgian government / Politics. Thats way more difficult. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I'll stick with the Netherlands, the whole Holland thing is like a state trying to rename a country. Look we're so big and popular let's rename the world..... no thanks... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidMil Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 When I hear Holland, I think of giant wind mills and never ending fields of tulips, AND some very fine wines too! When I hear Netherlands I think more of a bustling industrial country. So being a country boy, I think I'd prefer to lay in the tulips, watch the wind mills, and get very intoxicated on some fine wine! David PS. Sorry StormTrooper, but the thought of watching something more confusing just plain frightens me! David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pirx Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) just on topic from a slav - in our lingo the normal usage is "Holandia". There is form "Niderlandy", but it is strongly archaic. So we knew it well hundreds of years ago when our bonds and trade was strong, later on we forgot the righter form.

pixelmischief Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 I'm not sure if you're a genius or a very sick person to say that the explanation is easy. I have watched that video twice and my head is still spinning. I was as baffled as I was entertained until the very end. The info-graphic that lays out the component regions and then draws containers around them made it all pretty clear to me. Very informative.

Look we're so big and popular let's rename the world..... no thanks... LOL, no one in Holland thinks like that It is (I think) a bit similar with America and The United States of America. Just like America the name Holland is also used by many Dutch TV shows, probably because it sounds better. For example a.o. The Voice of Holland, Holland's next top model, Holland's got talent etc. So the correct titles would be The Netherlands next top model or The United States of America next top model But okay Stefan, back on topic. Yes, we all know Mathy Edited May 12, 2017 by Fred_M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathy Posted May 12, 2017 Share Posted May 12, 2017 Hello David I have watched that video twice and my head is still spinning. I've been living here all my life (half a century), and even I had to watch that video a couple of times before I could "digest" all the information in one sitting.
