rainy one.  Since Finnur's summer vacation had finally started (after he spent the first week in Iceland working remotely for his company), his first order of business was to find a place to download tons of software so he could start fixing the 10 or so computers that awaited him.  We heard that the "<A HREF="http://www.bok.hi.is/english/third.htm" TARGET="_top"

have been great if Finnur's wireless card had been installed </div> <div> on his new laptop!  Instead, we went to my mother's place (she has DSL!), where Finnur </div> <div> spent a couple of hours trying to find a driver for the wireless card, but ultimately failing.  </div> <div> When he then discovered that the DSL company only charges for foreign downloads,</div> <div> he swiftly logged on to <A HREF="http://tucows.isholf.is/" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://tucows.isholf.is/"><U>tucows.isholf.is</U></A>, that hosts common programs on a mirror in Iceland...</div> <div> and got most of the
