Christophe Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 Maybe..., but we are, here, in Moscow... Ch.
Christophe Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 Ok, let's summarize...I'm not a person.I am born in 1959, in Moscow. Less than one year later, I had already a strong link with Germany. My little brother is born because of the 1980 Olympic Games. He arrived quite late; I was already 20 years old. But, we never have been able to communicate rightly together...My worst day, a terrible one, happened in 1982.Who / what am I ?No one to try ? Ch.
Christian Zulus Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 ЭВМ I'm not a person.I am born in 1959, in Moscow. Less than one year later, I had already a strong link with Germany. My little brother is born because of the 1980 Olympic Games. He arrived quite late; I was already 20 years old. But, we never have been able to communicate rightly together...My worst day, a terrible one, happened in 1982.Gentlemen,I guess, it has to deal with Soviet & GDR computer systems:ES EVM (ЕС ЭВМ, Единая система электронных вычислительных машин, meaning "Unified System of Electronic Computers")The fact is, that the GDR had been the leading nation in the East in computer systems.Another fact is, that the Soviets introduced a brand new system of electronic computers for the 1980 Olympic Games.But I am not an expert in this issue Maybe someone else might go on Best regards Christian
Christophe Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 Hi Christian, Welcome back!!! Happy to see you here again!!! No, unfortunately; nothing related to Soviet and GDR computer systems... Look at the picture : all people having gone to Moscow know this...Cheers.Ch.
Christophe Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 We have a winner!!!! Congratulations Ilja, you win what has been a nice round, even if I initially thought it would be an easy one... Here are the answers :I am born in 1959. Less than one year later, I had already a strong link with Germany. My little brother arrived quite late; I was already 20 years old. But, we never have been able to communicate rightly together...My worst day, a terrible one, happened in 1982.Who am I ?I am the Moscow airport Sheremetyevo 1.I am born in 1959. Sheremetyevo was opened on 11 August 1959.Less than one year later, I had already a strong link with Germany. The first international flight was on 1 June 1960 to Berlin (Sch?nefeld Airport). My little brother arrived quite late; I was already 20 years old. But, we never have been able to communicate rightly together...Sheremetyevo-2, the larger of the two terminals, opened on 1 January 1980 for the Moscow Olympics and is the arrival and departure point for international flights. Flights to cities in Russia and charter flights arrive and depart from Sheremetyevo-1. There is no physical connection between the two terminals; they are essentially separate airports using the same set of runways. Such a layout is rather unusual worldwide; Perth Airport in Western Australia and Davao International Airport in Davao City, Philippines are other examples.My worst day, a terrible one, happened in 1982.6 July 1982 - Aeroflot Flight 411, an Ilyushin Il-62 crashes on take-off, all 90 on board killed. And the picture I showed is well known from all Moscow travellers... In fact it is the ceiling of Sheremetyevo 2, today still there, but renovated at the current time, and disappearing progressively...Ilja, Congratulations again !!! Your turn, now... Cheers.Ch.
