I'm not surprised. The one near me was a bit of a madhouse, & that was straight after opening.
I was tempted to get the TFT monitor too, but couldn't really find any info about it so decided not to.

I've already tried using Google's "translate" function though. A bit odd, but fairly understandable, lol.

Does that make sense?

Yeah, guess so.
One of the German links I got Google to translate said the "9800 XL" was somewhere between a 9800 & a 9800 Pro, while another said that the "9800 XXL" (the one on the new Aldi PC I bought) was somewhere between the 9800 Pro & XT.

Yeah, the manual says it's a seperate Medion branded "combi card", with TV/FM tuner plus 56k modem on one card.

Well, it's v good so far, IMO. Still need to try out all the features though.
