Well, all you sugar addicts should join me in my New Years Resolution and
give up sugar (and alcohol) for the first 2 months and see what happens. Now
we might not be able to communicate if the internet is down, the world
cracks in half or the sun goes out. I've been trying to change my computer
over to the Chinese calendar so it doesn't have Y2K problems, but I don't
know what year it is in that calendar, nor whether my computer is compatible
with pigs, rats, snakes, dragons etc. Mind you, Bill Gates has been called
most of the Chinese years so I should be OK. I'll probably have to buy an
upgrade so it can run Cougars.

Sydney gets Santa a few hours earlier than the rest of you (any Kiwis,
Fijians etc on the list?).

Have a Merry Christmas and a case of cold beer if I don't speak to you
before. Thanks for all the interesting posts and it's nice to see some new
(faces?) on the list.

Regards Ben.
