Thank you so much to all for your kind words!

It is nice to hear birthday congratulations today (especially when they come from all over the world )

On Russian:
С днем рождения, Григорий! От имени всех русско-говорящей общины программирующих и пользующихся (x)Harbour, HMG и HMG Ext. желаю всего самого лучшего! Как имеющий отношение к медицине, повторяю известное пожелание: "Главное - здоровье, остальное купим"

On English:
Happy birthday Grigory! From all russian-speaking community of (x)Harbour, HMG and HMG Ext. programmers and users I congratulate you! Best wishes! As "medicine-related man" I can repeate well-known phrase: "Main thing is HEALTH - all other we can buy!"

when I read your words, Alex, I am angry that I had to learn Russian in soviet times...

But, I remember something, eg. elektronnaja wyczislitielnaja maszina

Happy birthday Grigory! thank for your ideas and contributions to our dear HMG

Hi, Marek! Pamiętasz język "krwawych katów wolności, które pochodzą z Moskwy"? (Google Translate helps me a little)

For "english" people:
3 last words in Marek's post translates as "electronic calculating machine" - Soviet's name of "computer".
My phrase (on Polish) translates as

Do you remember the language of "bloody executioners of freedom who comes from Moscow"?

(Red Army)

Sorry, Grigory, for this little language offtop into "your" thread.

Of course, I remember!
I had to learn it from 4th class of primary school.

And now - I think, I could learn it again

But, my children look strange at me and my wife when we can say some words in Russian.

Great language, great people, but terrible leaders sometimes...

Best regards, Alex

Yes you can of course!
BTW: I read yesterday in news that in Latvia in school textbooks of Latvian language published (as an example of abuse) only Russian obscene expressions (Russian letters - "Х..Й", "П..ДА", "Б..ТЬ", "ЕБ..ТЬ" etc.) - rather than their Latvian.
"Русский мат - самое страшное оружие!" ("Russian mat - the most terrible weapon!")

Do they know that the Soviets (Russians) did not fight on the side of Hitler, but against him?.. Because many Americans (for example) think otherwise.

I agree Maybe this is our fatum (bad luck) - or a sad example for the rest of the world: "do not have to live like this!"...

P.S. Grigory, excuse us for "language offtop" again

Dear Grigory:

Many many happy returns of the day!
