Johann,

Would you mind posting an email on the list next Thursday your time with 
the result of the Australian Powerball lotto result.  I may have to 
share the winnings with the rest of the HUMBUG but then again I am not

Your date is out by a day!!!!  Try ntpd and any one of the free time 
servers out there.

Cheers,

Scott.
