Don't know if that qualifies more as a sign of the amooosclypse. ;-)

Yup. I am still working on my advanced, which will qualify me to run
repeaters (and other unattended equipment), run high power (1KW), and
attract snugglebunnies. But I am otherwise fully-functional from DC to
Daylight. It's really not difficult to get your licence these days.
Industry Canada makes available exam testing programs you can download to
test how you are doing with your studying, etc.

Indeed. I've stopped really paying attention to the latest inovations in
hardware. Instead, I'm concentrating on software, mostly servers, and
content. I've been working on an interactive novel, using wiki technology
hosted off my web server. I do find some of the toys interesting, however
-- digital cameras, ipods, external HDD. Much more interesting than
processor specs, and much more real-life useable.

Hey, another question on the origin line question... does your gateway
strip everything including the tearline, or just the origin line? I could
add some of my origin line wit to the tagline library, or the tearline.
It's been a while since I did fido coding, so don't expect some nifty tool
to do auto-origin duplication.
