As long as we get CodeProject served to us, nobody really cares about the hamsters. As the song goes:

Have fun.

I've been there once, about 25 years ago (I was about six years old).
On the way there I drew a picture for the airplane pilot and when I wanted to give it to the flight attendant she said I could give it in person.
To my surprise there were two pilots and the cockpit was more than just a start button and a joystick 
It was a KLM Boeing 747 and the first time I flew, I think.
No way any passenger could now enter the cockpit during flight, but times were different back then 
I still have the stuffed animal I got that day (a little bird with a KLM cap).
In Toronto we went to the Niagara Falls and the top of the CN Tower (and I think we had dinner there).
For some reason I remember seeing the city lights from the car for as far as my eyes could see when we went to my uncle's house that evening.
That was also the vacation where I was introduced to the NES and Super Mario.
My older cousin had one and I wanted to play with him, but I didn't speak a word of English so I just pointed at him, then me, and made a gesture as if I held a controller
We went right before Christmas and when we got back I got a NES under the Christmas tree.
That was the first out of two times I visited them.
Needless to say it was all quite impressive at that age

I did not know that CP had been around that long.
Also, from different things you've said and the way you've phrased things, I'm guessing that you are 31. Am I right?

I thought maybe CP was originally a division of Nintendo, but this definitely confirms it.

Only for insiders, which I was at six years old

You're right, and I'm turning 32 in exactly a month

Actually, Nintendo is a subdivision of CP.

You'd be surprised. My kids were invited to sit in the pilot seat of a 373 by British Airways a few years ago

Very cool!
I guess it depends where you're flying

Just some food for thought.
With what appears to be a constant stream of issues with windows pushing out updates that break OH SO MANY peoples computers, and some blame aimed out Microsoft reducing it's internal testers for end testers.
The thought part is: how much of this is more to do with the ease of collecting data points of where updates are failing compared to 5 or 10+ years ago, followed by the dissemination of those issues?
Cause vs Effect
possible false positives.
The level of issues that windows updates might have been high previously. With a newer OS update process, windows might include more robust logging capability then previouse versions, which only ends up highlighting problems which where not collected before.
Blah de blah blah.
Buy a new computer.
