Well I'll just under bid this and say that for $7.50 I will tell you that
you car will suffer no problems as a result of the change in the year
from 1999 to 2000. Please send your checks to:

Dear Cassius:
Are you still working on the Y zero K problem? This change
from BC to AD is giving us a lot of headaches and we haven't
much time left. I don't know how people will cope with working
the wrong way around. Having been working happily downwards
forever, now we have to start thinking upwards. You would think
that someone would have thought of it earlier and not left it
to us to sort it all out at this last minute.
I spoke to Caesar the other evening. He was livid that Julius
hadn't done something about it when he was sorting out the calendar.
He said he could see why Brutus turned nasty. We called in Consultus,
but he simply said that continuing downwards using minus BC won't work
and as usual charged a fortune for doing nothing useful. Surely we
will not have to throw out all our hardware and start again?
Macrohard will make yet another fortune out of this I suppose.
The money lenders are paranoid of course! They have been told
that all usury rates will invert and they will have to pay their
clients to take out loans. Its an ill wind ......
As for myself, I just can't see the sand in an hourglass flowing
upwards. We have heard that there are three wise men in the East
who have been working on the problem, but unfortunately they won't
arrive until it's all over.
I have heard that there are plans to stable all horses at midnight
at the turn of the year as there are fears that they will stop and
try to run backwards, causing immense damage to chariots and possible
loss of life.
Some say the world will cease to exist at the moment of transition.
Anyway, we are still continuing to work on this blasted Y zero K
problem. I will send a parchment to you if anything further develops.
If you have any ideas please let me know,
Plutonius
