Good afternoon, Paul,

 HG> Yes, I even received a Mobile Broadband subscription as XMAS  gift,

PQ> Ooh, nice.

Yeah, maybe the tag line tells the truth ;o)

PQ> Ah, yes.  I've had days like that too.  It means that the winds were
PQ> favourable and the phase of the moon was opportune.[grin]

I still have to configure size and font to my liking, on the LCD screen.

PQ> I received a SMS note from my little girl: that lady was from
PQ> Finland and has returned home now.  :(

Many people here say they come from Finland, because Aland is pretty
unknown in the world, while Finland rings a bell with some.

 HG> Also, many a sailor have left their ship in Australia, and made a living
 HG> there, especially from the Eriksson sailing ships that brought wheat to
 HG> Europe.

PQ> Yikes!  I thought you were about to say descendants of Erik the Red! 
PQ> :)

I don't recall that one ;o)

PQ> Maybe a couple of years ago, when the Aussie dollar was on par with
PQ> the US greenback.  Not now.  The Aussie buck is roughly equal to
PQ> 0.65 Euro. (Long-winded layman's ill-informed explanation deleted.)

I haven't actually followed the exchange rate for the AU$. The most
important exchange rates are the swedish crown, because we usually
travel there, and the US$.


Have a nice evening,

Holger
