Well, I turned 50 over this last weekend, so I cant wish for it as a 25th or 30th birthday present can I. In fact that must mean that I have been using FORTRAN for longer than a lot of monks have been alive!

I like Damian's answer, Christmas, because he is right every year, but I suspect late 2004 is a good bet, so I will plumb for my next birthday:

2004-12-01T02:30:00+10:00 (per ISO 8601:1988(E))
