Happy birthday young man !

Half a Century , this is a quite landmark ! Looking back at what happened over the last 50 years, and the great inventions that were developped; Video technology , TV and Cinema, communications by Fax, Internet , Satellite , Computers , Mictro-wave ovens and communications (*_*), Man in space, Video & Computer games , and finally Polaroid & Digital Photography. (Thanks Tomasz!) All these were first items displayed in science fiction movies, but are now part of our daily lives....

We will see in 50 years how far we will be than. Probably Video conferences and Skype won't be anymore necessary, and teletransporation will exist (^_^). Then we will be able to travel, give you a big hug and have a few beers on your birthday. I will be ONLY 97 then....

In the meantime , Martine & me wish you a great vacation in Spain. See you in a few weeks here in Canada. Then a couple of beers are waiting you in my refrigerator at home.

Big Kiss to Yolanda !

Cheers!
Martine & Robert
