Well, STig,
  I'll tell President Clinton to stop the bombing because you want
to buy a new computer.  I'm sure he'll see that your new Falcon is

The following has nothing to do with computers but:
I participated in NATO exercises in Norway during the mid/late 70's 
when I was in the Marines and have to say that I think that 
Norwegian women are the most beautiful and healthy looking I've ever seen.
