ya but the macbook pro i want is around $2800 so i have to pay the $2800 and also $300 for Windows Vista but i can get a way better Sager computer for $2700 and i don't have to buy windows, so thats why i asked "have any of you heard of Sager computer's and if so how are they?"

ok thx guys i just found the game very fast when before i left on holidays i felt the scenery and stuff going by slowly but know it just fly's by. i guess this topic can be closed

hey guys i have a really wierd question i just went on singleplayer on LFS and since I had not played for 2 months everything felt way faster but i thought that may because when i was in switzerland the trains felt slow but they were going about 200km/h, but then i looked at my speedometer an saw i was going 262km/h and when i saw that i was kinda amazed becuase i never was able to get my car up to 262km/h so i'm wondering if you can eather tell me has then game gotten a lot faster looking or is my cars set for some reason very fast? the car i was driving was the FZR and i always could never get past 255km/h in the same set so thats why i'm wondering.

ok the most i want to pay is $3000 though i'd prefer to pay less. and i don't want to go with a apple because a. there a food lol b. i don't want to have to buy the computer then have to by windows and other stuff to be able to run windows or programs on windows

i know i'm going to be paying a lot more for not as good performance but i can't get a desktop becuase there so big so i need a notebook becuase i am always on the move

those skins look good i'll possibly try to join the team when i get back into LFS since i haven't been on LFS for around 2 months

hey guyssince i'm looking for a new computer i came across Sager computers and notebooks so what i'm wondering is do any of you have or use a Sager computer? If you do how are they? i would be going for a Sager Notebook for gaming.

Welcome to S2 batteryy your skins are great, so good luck to you and happy racing. hope to see you on the race track!

Grüezi wohl!

Heh, that's quite funny. I'm a Dutchman living in Switzerland, so I could tell you quite a bit about both countries.

First of all, there is no "Swiss" as a language. The national languages of Switzerland are German, French, Italian and Romansh. Where German is spoken in the largest area and Romansh in the smallest area.
So depending where you'll be staying, you'd be best of learning at least the basic words in that language. I'm telling you this as my experience is that most Swiss people, don't even speak basic English.
Click here to see a map of what language is spoken where.

I myself try to use English here as much as possible, but I'm often forced to use German in order to communicate decently.

However, the backpacking community in Switzerland is quite an international community consisting of all kinds of nationalities. Americans, Canadians, British, Germans, French, Dutch and even Swiss.
Because of this, most backpackers and hostel hosts will be using English anyway.

Though, have you already picked out a region and a travel plan for backpacking? It is highly difficult to just "find" one with luck, as Switzerland is quite vast.
If you haven't made such plans yet, I recommend referring to this website.

The Swiss public transport is the best I've ever experienced. The network is huge meaning you could get almost anywhere by public transport, the tickets you buy are valid for Train, Tram, Metro, Bus and even the mountain cable trolley, and last but not least, I've almost never seen a train arrive 3 seconds too late and when one did, it arrived within 4 minutes, and still arrived my final train station on time. In other words, the public transport is your best buddy on a trip through Switzerland.
For schedules, refer to www.rail.ch

About Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, just follow the signs to the departures hall, find your carrier's desk and check in with your ticket. They will give you the boarding pass and tell you which gate you need to proceed to (which is also on your boarding pass).

If you have any other questions, just ask.

Wow thx man for the sites and stuff and so far we haven't chose where to go but my dads sister and father will be at the airport in zurich and they will be able to help but will figure that part out! Well thx guys for these tips only 2 more sleeps then i have 24 hours of flying................but i love the feeling when the plane is accelerating on the runway it feels like you in a super car but your not

ok and sorry for spelling amsterdam wrong and i probibly did it wrong again huh? and i suck at gramer and spelling right know because i'm on a laptop keyboard and i'm typing faster and worse then normal.

Quote from Christofire :

I've been through schipol many times. So long as it's not Queen's Day (national holiday) you'll be fine. The signs are in English, and although the airport is large it is clean, bright and easy to navigate. If all else fails, most of the Dutch people I've ever met have been very friendly, and certainly know English better than I know any 2nd language.

Switzerland is a very picturesque country (at least around Zurich), and a smattering of German will help to understand the basics (signs, menus, etc). Again, most of the time I've not had trouble making myself understood and I've certainly not starved. Five minutes with a german phrasebook should see you right. The trains run on time *to the second*, so don't count on any being late!

Be aware - Switzerland has the Swiss Franc (CHF), not Euros, as a currency. You may need a few Euros if you're staying for any length of time in Amsterdam, otherwise just wait it out or get currency as you go.

I have noticed that airports in the US/Canada have water fountains, whereas this isn't always the case in Europe. I don't know how your credit cards work, but for a UK credit card it's usually not too bad to stick a small purchase on like a bottle of water, instead of getting local currency just for a small item/bottle of water.

ok thx for the tips and i'll be fine with the german stuff becuase my dad is swiss and were going bapck just to see his family and my dad has lots of travel checks in euro's or swiss franks i don't know which one and i'm going to be taking $200 out of the bank today or tommorow and get it converted into swiss.

Quote from Michel 4AGE :

You won't have any problems at all as 99% of the EU population has no problems understanding and speaking English. Are you staying in Amsterdam for a couple days or just overnight and then... train to Switzerland ?

no i'm not staying in ambsterdam i'm going to be catching a connecting flight to Zurich, i'd love to go by train though becuase i love trains.

and also is there any british poeple out there that have little tips on how to get through heathrow fast becuase my dad is going through heathrow with aircanada and he has a terminal change so i'm wondering what is an easy way to get around? he does have a 4 hour lay over so he does have time.

and for those poeple that are wondering why my dad is flying sepperite it is becuase my dad was going later in october but my mother and bro and i wanted to come and since my bro and i have school we had to move the dates forward to tuesday.

and for the swiss where are some good places for backpacking that are off the beaten path? and they must be close to a hostel becuase were not taking a tent or a sleeping bag. So any tips are welcome and the faster the better becuase i won't be on here much so it best if i get them quick

hey guys on tuesday i'm flying out of vancouver with KLM and going to Ambsterdam(sp?) then going on to swizterland but i don't know dutch so i'm wondering if it is easy to get around ambsterdam airport when i only know english and like 10 words of swiss. or is there and words i should look out for and go where they point or what ever?

P.S. i'm going to switzerland for a 5 week holiday so i won't be on here cause i'm going to be back packing the whole month staying at hostals

EDIT if you have to fly somewhere soon fly with KLM becuase there dirt cheap, i was going to be flying with air canada but they said for the round trip it would cost $7200 and thats going through heathrow and KLM only costs $5000 and i go through ambsterdam but on the return flight i have to through ambsterdam then St.Paul US the minniapolis side or what ever

my bro has a iPod Nano and he uses iTunes to sync his music and he is useing a windows comp he also said that that is the only way to sync your iPod on a windows comp. but i don't know if i answerd you question, i hope i did

i agree whats twitter?

ok thx guys for all your tips i'll test them out next time i get on lfs which won't be for awhile because i'm moving

hey guys i was just watching a vid on youtube about a team called MG and i loved there skins so i'm wondering is the team still around/alice or is it closed/dead?

Ok when i first started playing LFS on the demo I was able to you the mouse for acclerating and brkaing but with out having to use the left click and right click, i was able to just move the mouse forward and it would go faster and back words it would brake, and it was nice doing it that way becase i could control the amount of throttle that i wanted and when you just left click on the mouse to accelerate it always added full throttle and sometimes i don't want full throttle, so i'm wondering how do i make it so i can accelerate and brake by just moving the mouse forwards and backwards? and i must be able to still steer with the mouse by just moving it the the left and right becuase i was able to control the amount of power and brakeing power while also being able to steer. and yes i know it may be hard to control but i just want to try and see if it works

hey guys i have being trying to learn how to race the FZR and i alwyas spin out at the exit of the cornor, so what i think i'm doing wrong is i'm useing to much throttle, but [CD]aceracer who was nice an off to give me his setup to try said i was my differensil or something was wrong so what i'm wondering is could some one eather give me a pretty basic setup that will hopfully not make me spin out so much OR you can tell me what my problem is. It would be great if someone help me becuase i want to race with the FZR becuase its fast and i love the sound and the looks of it and i also have a sweat skin for it.

wow some lots of cornors that were sugested i've never really noticed when driving but i'm just about to start up paint or adobe so i can change my format of pics of my favorite sornor so it should be ready in a few minutes if i don't get carried away.

these 2 cornors are my favorite becuase the first cornor (pic2) its a little banked and then when you go to enter the next cornor (pic1) you go over a little hill in the road and then back down into the cornor and it reminds of the banked cornor in the nurbergring and when your exiting the first cornor you can't see the second cornor (pic1) becuase that hill is infront of you and blocking your view and when you go over the hill the cornor is right there in your face so it surprises you oh and the cornor is on Koyoto GP Long
