That's right... Some older computers will read 9999 as an end of a file, maybe causing a problem for some.

Speak for yourself. Personally, I'm really hoping for the introduction of medical nanomachines between now and then. I wouldn't mind living to be a healthy 439.

Nah, far too long. You'd be bored with people by then.
give me a nice, ooh, 225 years, and I'd be happy. As long as they raised the drinking age to 78.

I'm aiming for an even 50,000,000,000. I'm almost halfway there now.

O yeah I forgot by that time well all evolve into immortal energy beings like the Vorlons, how stupid can I be

Ring side seats for the heat death of the Universe of course I have them, but does anyone have tickets for when the universe collaspes on itself and forms another big bang, I hear those tickets are hard to get .

I got multiple lifetime tickets 2 universes ago. They've been sold out for 3 eternities, but I understand that next cycle, there will be more parallel universes so they can sell more seats. There's supposed to be more news in 14 or 15 aeons, so I'll keep you posted when I hear anything.
