As I'm sure you've noticed (if you're a regular visitor anyway :P) the Emulation64.com server has suffered some downtime the last few days, meaning both Emu64 and EmuTalk among other hosted sites has been unavailable.
Before people start speculating, the server is completely fine and has not been hacked, it was simply unplugged by the server company and it took many phone calls, faxes and support tickets before it finally went online only a few minutes ago.
I appreciate your support, and I hope you understand that I have done everything I can the last few days (and haven't had much sleep, mind you) to get it online as quickly as possible. Thanks to zilmar for news post at www.pj64.net while it was down. :)
My favorite moment (well, it was horrible all of it actually, but this actually made me laugh out loud) was when I once again called support last night saying I called from Sweden.
Me: Hello, my name is Martin and I'm calling from Sweden. Do you speak english?
Support: Bla bla *german words* bla bla Me: I'm sorry, I don't understand german.
Support: *More talk about bratwurst and whatnot, in german again* Me: Ehh, english please?
Support: Nein! Raus! 9am
So I figured out he asked me to call at 9am today, all the english speaking staff had gone home or something.

I've been living in Germany for more than 6 months and I can assure that this happens 80% of the time.
Of course, when you are in a shop they understand every word you say because they don't want to lose the chance of you buying something.
BTW, one friend of mine went to the Administration speaking decent German and the lady in the office didn't want the help her because "she didn't understand anything". Then, my friend tried in English and the lady didn't speak English. So, my friend tried to call her mother (who speaks quite good German) to deal with the lady and the lady refused because no cell-phones were allowed in there.
Oh! I forgot, also in McDonald's they don't speak English!!!
