+<BODY>
+	<p>Well, somehow it slipped by us this year, but the ScummVM project was technically five years old on the 5th of October (based on our 
+founding date on SourceForge. But don't worry! Due to popular demand, we have rescheduled our Birthday to Jan 15th, to coincide with the release of 
+ScummVM 0.1.0!</p>
+	<p>Over the years, ScummVM has grown from a project ludde started to run Monkey Island ('to see if he could'), to a series of 
+interpreters capable of playing a wide-range of games on a huge number of operating systems, platforms and devices. We would like to thank all of 
+those who have helped us grow over the years from our developers, contributors and users. Some companies and groups deserve special mention (but all 
+of you are great, so don't feel left out...):</p>
