Correction: it was the knarr that did most of the long distance
transport, including the transatlantic journeys. A shorter, fuller ship
with much better deep sea behaviour. The longship was a costal "racer",
and the crews knew the difference. The first was designed to transport
stuff in places like the north atlantic, while the second was used to
deliver armed crew in the target context as fast as possible.

I must admit that Micro$oft does seem to bear an awful resemblence to the
Sirius Cybernetic Corporation. Considering that my attempts at using Word
always resulted in something almost, but not quite, entirely unlike a document.
