Boy I hope this was meant in jest. Y2K had the potential to be a real
problem. It was only through due diligence that a real mess diverted. Most
mainframe computers still have some small glitches from what I've heard and
seen. I personally spent almost 40 hours in the past year making sure seven
check printers would function this weekend. The company I'm contracted to
has a couple small problems with their computers and just decided to pull
the plug on the whole network and deal with the non-compliant machines on
Monday.

Lucky man. All I got to do way play with my digi-neons on Grand Turismo 2. I
just love the fact that I can spank digital Grand Sport Carvettes and Shelby
Moostangs with a 195 horse digi-greon.
