Hehe. Thanks. :) Here's hoping we will fare well against Portugal, which is going to be as much of a challenge, if not more so, as their playing style is very different.

I've never really been to Russia, I'm afraid... Apart from staying a night in a hotel near the airport in Moscow while in transit. I would very much like to see St Petersburg, as it is a stunning city. I'm also starting to appreciate history as I age and there is so much of it in Russia. But now I live all the way over here in BC Canada, so it's a rather long trip to plan for. Some day soon I hope.

I have been to Denmark, Copenhagen, and I have seen the monument to Hans-Christian Andersen there still I didn't get wrong link to Sweden destroyed :)
> And Denmark was always associated for me with Hamlet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet), from my very early childhood  ages- we all study "Hamlet" here in kindergarten you know :) - just kidding but AFAIKR I first watched this film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet_(1964_film)) when a kid - since that time Denmark and Hamlet are tightly linked for me: when in Denmark I have been to Elsinore, everything was there as I have got it in my very early age from the Soviet movie...

Yes, keeping a couple of displays connected to one development box would help to speed-up a bit, and I'm planning to get them connected but again, that's it: that's all a developer using MS modern development tools would need to work efficiently on a broad range of application software project types.
