BTW, you should use http://dict.leo.org/ as a dictionary. It's world's best ! (Doesn't translate whole texts, though).

Bye,
Thomas

Never. If you want to make a joke you'd say "Das Mutterbrett", but not seriously.

Well son - when a motherboard and a fatherboard love each other very much they sometimes like to show it by having a babyboard. xD
