Apart from a fine selection of books on investment and accounting and the relevant dictionaries (books and, whereever possible, electronic dictionaries), I keep up to date with events in the financial markets, accounting legislation and business developments by regularly reading the relevant business papers (my favourites: Handelsblatt and Börse online).

I also love to work with state of the art technical equipment

• PC under Windows XP
• 2 flat screen monitors
• Laptop
• Backup PC
  

and have excellent expertise in using programs

• MS Office 2000/XP
• Adobe FrameMaker 6.0
• diverse web editors
• handling of XML files
• Translation Memorys
  • TRADOS (7.5)
  • Déjà Vu (DV 3 + DVX)
  • SDLX (2003).

and, of course there is all the peripheral technical equipment necessary:

• high speed internet connection
• external backup
  
• Printer
• CD and DVD Burner, etc...
