In a message on Friday 01-14-16 Paul Quinn said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   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
