Well, the .txt and .html _should_ be readable by most everyone here. I work
on a combination of Unix, Linux, and MS machines. Probably the best bet is
to stay with those. The formatting is not as nice but most machines will be
happy about it. When using Word2000 I believe you can save docs in both
formats simply with a "save as" so it should be easy on you as well. If
not, I would be happy to do the conversions and post them for you. I would
also suggest we start putting rev dates in the filename so we can tell when
something has been updated and whether the converted docs are up to date
with the original formats.

As to the alternate OSes, I imagine the lack of localization for Icelandic
has kept the *nix revolution at bay there. I haven't seen this localization
for Linux anyway (and I looked, hoping to install an Icelandic localized
version to help learn).
