Can I afford it?

This is part of an e-mail I got today from my ISP. (Orcon, you know who you are.)

Your current account balance is $0.00.

This balance needs to be paid within 10 days of the invoice date.

You can see how this balance is made up and see a complete breakdown of invoices and receipts online at our website.
They go on to give a snail-mail address to which I can post a cheque.

Actually only one female geek. The long-curly-haired person is actually male. 8-/
But I'm glad that we at least do have Samantha Carter as a representative of female geekdom. 8-)

Yes, but I'd never seen Firefly when I made that icon. Still haven't seen more than about an episode yet, though I have the DVDs -- I've been sucked into House-watching.
