Jack's birthday (according to Hijack) is December 24. Can the empeg guys confirm that's the correct date?
EDIT: Ah yes, here it is from the Geek Guide on RioCar.Org:

The first prototype, named Jack, was completed by Christmas 1998 and worked perfectly first time...
..Issue 1 was designed before the metalwork and wouldn't fit in a box, hence "Jack". In fact in later life he spent several months in a small cardboard box labelled "Jack in his box" - but now he takes pride of place in our display cabinet.
