Thanks Guido,

I just want to make it to 21-Dec-2012, when the Mayan calendar says the world will be destroyed so the next cycle can begin. That's less than Hitler's 12 relative years, I guess.

I don't know if I really want a very long life, though. I have 7 kids and 13 grandchildren. Can't remember all their birthdays now. Can you imagine if I lived to be really old and had to remember all the greatgrandchildren' s birthdays too?

A recent Harvard Business Review article recommended that businesses severely cut back their IT spending. I'd hate to get fired as part of those cutbacks and face a century of retirement. Ughhh!
