They still had that display, but I don't remember falling over due to its
implications. Maybe the sign was in (East) German. What did I miss? (A
museum of eastern european technology would be pretty cool.)

They also had a nice robot walker, and a machine based on hydrolic (sp?)
switches. I'd love to fire-up a machine that used hydrolics or pneumatic
switches, but the power button didn't work :-(

Hmm, the Z3 is also a BMW model. I think you may have stumbled upon their
source for car names :-)
