"Dette er et tall vi er godt førnøyd med." -- "This is a number we are well satisfied with."

"Utviklingen går i riktig retning", sier Funcoms finansdirektør Olav Sandnes til E24. -- "The development is going in the right direction", says Funcom Chief Financial Officer Olav Sandnes to E24.

I hope it makes it, they have been very good to AbleGamers.
