The U.S.-based Gartner Group concluded in a recent report that Lithuania was no better prepared than Afghanistan and Vietnam, which are hardly prepared at all.

Mysko insisted he is "100 percent sure we won't have Y2K problems here."

I don't think it's going to blow up," said Igor Molianoki, an engineer in the capital of Vilnius, 80 miles south of Ignalina. "The Soviets knew how to build these things right. This plant won't pose a threat, neither on 2000 nor on 2050."

But.....Outwardly, Ignalina hardly inspires confidence. Concrete crumbles off the plant's 15-year-old facade, which is ringed by pot-holed roads and strewn with derelict, rusty cranes.

He doesn't *TINK* it's going to "BLOW UP!!!" (oh boy)

If it all wasn't so glow-ball I would have to laugh. God help us!!!

Japan's largest travel agency, JTB, announced last month it would not sell New Year's tours involving air travel because of concerns other nations are not sufficiently prepared for the millennium bug.

....and while traveling in Lithuania, be sure see if your film is *already developed*, before you drop it off at your favorite photo processing center. Could be a rad Yen-saver man! Humble appologies Papa san
