Cyber birthday, a great idea! But the cake is at stake; no one to handle the candle; and presents would be absent .

Thanks for sharing!

Interesting article. I had just started working when the web was in it's infancy. I remember how exciting it was to be able to (dial-up with an external modem) connect to a bulleting board where sales reps at my company could post and share product info.

Now I can't imagine life without it.
