It's obvious that we have very different customs and circumstances in
net usage :) I have a relatively fast connection (56k), while you
seem to have a slower one; I use Internet Explorer at home, but I
don't know how Netscape compares to that in speed. Also, Iceland has
very low phone bills, so I don't mind staying connected for up to 3
hours a day.

My point was, however, that accessing the stuff in our homepage, and
thence copying it (not downloading, no need, just copy-pasting or
something, or just reading it straight from the browser), shouldn't
be much slower or costlier than using the e-group page.

But I think I'm just not understanding your conditions; how fast is
your connection?

Again, differences in our net habits - why didn't you just copy the
link, open a new browser, and paste it onto the address? That never
fails :)

True :)

Well yes, but your version would be considered overuse of article,
and thus bad style; "Háskóli Íslands" is the title.

That's true. It was always like that, because the link was in the
Link section; now that section is called "Bookmarks", so it still
works :)
