<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you, all. I am generally not much of a
"Birthday" guy, however, this year, I am the answer to "Life, the Universe, and
Everything!" Could it be mere accident that it coincides with the recent
re-release of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"? I think not. (42 for
those unfamiliar with Douglas Adams' work)</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>May fortune smile upon you Gerita, and to all the
rest of you as well........well most of you anyway.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And to Don Valentyn, it is not necessary to point
out just how severely I robbed that cradle. :-)</FONT></DIV>

hairs remaining on my head. (Not counting earlobe hairs, of
course.)</FONT></DIV>
