W00t! I managed to install the ADSL connection.

It was interesting downloading emails and seeing them just fly... I'm a happy camper now, I think.

What do you mean by "camper"? Do you play Counter Strike or something?

No. "I'm a happy camper" means that I'm content with the current situation. I don't know where the idiom is from, though.

(I've also heard it in the negative: "She's not a happy camper" = "she's not very happy with how things turned out" [more or less])

I'm guessing you've never seen the comedy show "Father Ted". It's about these 3 priests living together on an island - one of them (Father Jack - pictured in my user icon) comes out with that exact phrase. Slighty pointless comment, but I have it as a sound clip here (http://www.nik-w.fsnet.co.uk/camper.wav)!:p
