And, take a hold of something, I owe it all to the Pick Operating System.
Yes, boys and girls, I am living proof that a multi-value application can
bring you wealth and happiness. Thank you Dick Pick, wherever you are...

First, correct me if I am wrong, but this New Year's Eve is 40 years
since Day 0, right?

Does anyone have any good ideas for some sort of celebration, perhaps
calling it MV's 40th b'day? I'll ask on u2-community too and if some
of you are known to the jbase, d3, or revelation lists, perhaps you
can pass the question along.

I picture something where MV vendors, VARs, and customers could (and
would) participate in some, perhaps small, way that together would
make a bigger-than-our-usual noise within the s/w industry. This is a
bad idea, but it might get your creative juices flowing -- each
participant could have an e-mail sent to ComputerWorld or some other
mainstream industry publication when their machine says it is 40 years
since Day 0, with a short message from that site about using MV,
ending with Happy Birthday, Pick! or some such.

Another idea would be to see if we could use some public forum, such
as a giant virtual birthday card, or the wiki that Sisk and co put
together, and let everyone know they can write a Happy Birthday
message there.

I realize that a single vendor could take over the idea of celebrating
40 years and do something on their own, but I would much rather see
something that spanned the entire community without a need for
considerable collaboration (the various DB vendors are competitors, of
course).

Any thoughts? --dawn

i remember calculating the no of days i'd been alive and it was 9266
strange as my birthday is 9266
