Lewis, the 1:00 refers to the length of the meeting. The meeting was at 10:00am.

You can watch or listen via real audio at the following site:

Don't know How long it'll be available. I tried to watch this morning, but so much net congestion, half of it was garbled. Sounded like some EXCELLENT questions were asked.

One thing I heard Mr. K say was that the 'major' telecommunications companies have reported that they are 100% ready for Y2K.

see also the referenced handbook at

Still trying to figure out exactly HOW this booklet is supposed to reach us...

Thanks Arewynn- I think the original schedule I saw (not what I pasted as it happens) said 1PM, but I could have been mistaken. Never did get to see it (I can't get streaming video here).

I seem to recall that transcripts of NPC events turn up a few days later. Have to watch for that.

Yeah, I wondered about the distribution of that manual, too. maybe they'll mail it with the tax forms. Wouldn't that be ironic...

Or maybe they'll just leave it in the lobby of the Capital for interested citizens to pick up...
