Huh, what ?!?!?!??!???!! 8-]  8-]  (<-- very surprised user)
This just caught my eye... ".nl" is supposed to be the country code for
the Netherlands! Of course it's the CWI (Centre for Math. and Comp. Science),
Amsterdam, the Netherlands, that has always been in the front-line to fight
for better connectivity for the Netherlands. So, we owe them some, but this
is surely too much... :-) :-)
