Three stages of readiness:

1. GTO - (Guaranteed To Operate): Niagra Falls, Li's Rickshaw, Social Security Administration*

2. FURBY - (Fouled Up Real Bad Ya'll): Your bank and your utility co.

3. FUBAR - (Fouled Up Beyond Repair): Everybody else

*Depends on what the meaning of "operate" is. If it means getting checks to old people, then see FUBAR.
