Seriously, its a good idea - but i want to find a good modern danish translation. However good it might be, Im pretty sure Id 'go dead' in an old english one. For ancient texts I think its important to keep the feeling of them fresh, not bogged down by oldfashioned language.
You are absolutely right. These sort of books are more like references. I used to pinch a morsel now and then.

Bye Ea, have a good time with your Iphone and I hope that tomorrow you get a computer. I am going to cook dinner for my family. Sunday night it's easy. Toasts and steamed zucchini for the little one. Toasts and beer for the adults.
