A complete spinfest, mis, dis information campaign...

With deadhead reporters there for softball Q&A (I wish some people on tis bulletin-board could ask'em)

Lots of assumptions, a whole lot.....

On course, telecom's in good shape... Powell, Ko-Skin-Em, Kennard

Why do we need this Y2K Council under Slick Willie after all?
