Then we use the return from the Oljefondet (National Oil fund), currently at 2500 billions NOK (439 billion dollar) to keep going:P

Try reading the excellent book "riding the waves of culture". Then make a new effort of trying to understand Norwegians.
The comment about your patients not pronouncing your name correct seems faulty. You say the name is easy to say correctly, but surely you must understand that if the patentis are not getting it right, then they find it hard to pronounce.

I'm not familiar with Steve Guggenheimer, but this argument about Vista is idiotic. I hate Vista, it's just plain out bad compared to XP. I have wasted my money, but more important, my time on purchasing Vista on my home computer. At work I use XP and that's just way more faster.
