Dwight,
First a technical opservation about the Scandinavian countries of Norway, Sweden and Denmark. I travel to Denmark every other year. In the summer of 94, I spent a week near Lillehammer and a good deal of time was spent traveling around. In evaluating the technological advances made in the PC field, it surprised me to see Norway rather far behind the other two countries. People seem to be content in letting the world go by. They pump oil out of the North Sea and charge $6.50 per gallon, so maybe they don't need to stay abreast with with the rest of the world.

Maybe Andrew Grove should go there instead. Might help them catch up the 20-30 years that I feel they are behind. Am I being too harsh?

Norway and Denmark were once rules by the Danish kings for a few hundred years, they speak Danish with a funny accent. Something like people in Oakland messing up English and calling it Ebonics. <grin>

I am 100% of Danish ancestry, but there must have been a German in the 'woodpile', hence the surname.

Thanks for your reply.
humble carl
