Well, it's a little past midnight here, but technically I'm not late
yet I guess, so happy birthday :)

Thank you, and technically you're early. It's not midnight my time
yet, so it's not even really my bday yet.

So, when they say the world is going to explode at midnight, who's
time zone are they talking about or is it going to happen in each time
zone separately? ;-)

Thanks babe.

So am I on time?! Huh? Am I?!! Lol. Happy birthday dear. I'd
provide a more eloquent post, but I'm having technical difficulties
and it's hard to be eloquent when you're reading the ng at 640x480 in
256 colors <Insert cursing here>. Maybe I didn't provide ample
sacrifice to the hardware gods... But anywho! Enjoy your day of
birth, I wish you entertainment, happiness, and many many presents
that are very nice and such ;)

Hmmm? I find that reading Usenet is one of the few things in which
there is no lack of enjoyment or sense of something "missing" if I'm
lacking in colours. I just need to use smaller fonts if the res
changes.

Yep, caught me a few hours before I go out for dinner.

I thought I taught you to respect the hardware gods more. I'm
disappointed in you ;p

Thank you. I got a trip to a favorite new store with a large spending
cap as a gift. I'm a happy camper.

Uhm, kinda lost track of the date then :))
I was wondering why the balloon thing was still on ICQ, but it has
only just turned the 19th here ;)

Good question.. All these apocalypse fanatics never mention what
timezone God lives in ;-)

It's ok, makes my bday last even longer. I get those from the day
early countries, then those in my end of the world, then those that
forgot and tell me the next day. Kinda nice really.
