Thank you. I'm glad to hear I helped; I've received so very much from the net - as cynical and bitter as I tend to wax about its current state in general - that it's nice to know I've given a little back. > Heh, that reminds me of living in Norway and learning to speak Norsk Which reminds me of my own time i Norge (Tromsø, to be specific). I never did learn to speak any significant amount of Norwegian, neither bokmål nor nynorsk, but I did manage some minor proficiency in the written language. (Unfortunately I haven't kept it up, and it's been over thirteen years now, so I've probably lost much of it. I should get out my copy of Drømmen om Narnia and see if I can still read as much as I used to be able to.) To drag my reminiscences at least a little bit back on topic, I also remember the house netlink I had. I was working for Universitetet i Tromsø, and they set me up with a microwave link to the borettslag I was living in on the mainland...but it was IPv6-only.
