Guys,
This "Millenium Bug" that is being so widely reported is only another method by
which large companies and governments can justify extracting large sums of money
that would otherwise go into Restoring, building, re-building or repairing
LBC's. I predict (trust me on this one) that by the time January 1, 2000 rolls
around, none of us will even notice, except for a few massive hangovers. All
the
old programs will be "magically" fixed and all will be right with the world.
Joe Curry "sooth" I said it, therefore I must be a sooth-sayer!
