 It is a simple enumeration and makes sense to me. The German
translation was bogus, right. Sorry about the silly translation on my
part, but that doesn't mean that the English version is broken. :)

 I would add an "it would" infront of display, though. And I am
wondering if "high level" is the right paraphrasing along with the other
rather negative parts in that enumeration.

 So long,
