Merry Xmas from me too. Personally though Max I was hoping for a wee slim
girl in a red fur-lined mini-dress, but each to their own. Ho Ho Ho.

Thank you Gustav and the very best to you and yours as well.

I will have a look at the video but at the moment I have just connected my
PC to TV Turner via my Xbox360 Elite and Xbox-live with great "stuff"
including all the 60's music which I am playing now with my TV being output
to my PC. HDMI connectors to the console and PC from the 50" plasma - TV
operating via Windows Media Centre.

Oooohh, I am pure excited....just waiting for the wee fat man in the red
suit to call..

Hi all

At this time where you can count the hours till you _have_ to leave your
keyboard I wish all my fellow listers a Merry Christmas.

As a small Christmas present - free to use and distribute - I bring you this
link to an extraordinary docu video of a size that will make your download
wire glow.
It shows the full travel from Bergen to Oslo, the second largest city and
the capital of Norway, by rail via "Bergensbanen", a route which had its 100
years anniversary Nov. 27th this year.

With its length of 526,64 km typically more than 1000 m above the sea
through the mountains via 182 tunnels, it is rated as one of the ten most
spectacular railroads in the World by Chicago Tribune in 2005 and lasts for
more than 7 hours. The scenes from Hoth in Star Wars Episode V, The Empire
Strikes Back, were filmed at Finse, a small town along the route.

The tour was recorded in HD TV and broadcast with some interviews in between
by the Norwegian public service TV, NRK, and attracted 1.2 mio. viewers.
The download, however, is the clean view as seen from the engine. At a
whopping size of 165 GB it is too much for most people, so a scaled-down
version at 1280 x 720 is offered at "only" 22 GB:

So if you miss a present for the railroad-nerd of your family, get a USB
disk and start downloading now!

Of course, nothing is like the real travel. I took the ride with my wife
Rita some years ago - we both love railroads - and can highly recommend it.
