Excerpt from the article titled:
"Make Y2K list now, check it twice"
By M.J. Zuckerman, USA TODAY

And each household's needs will be different. "Everyone must make their own judgments," says White House Y2K director John Koskinen. "We've never argued with anyone who wanted to do more rather than less. But whatever you determine to do, do it early; prepare early."

Don't make me really mad by hedgeing your bets now Kosky! You're flirting with saying more than 3 days prep might be necessary. If you are wrong about y2k, the populace will be after you with the highest tech weapon of the 21st century...a pitchfork!

"We've never argued with anyone who wanted to do more rather than less. ..."

It sounds like Kosky is making carefully planned statements to clear himself out of any legal accountablity, don't you think?

Isn't artfully crafted "truth" the hallmark of the entire administration?

-- Ron Schwarz (rs@clubvb.com.delete.this), November 26, 1999.

Could this be considered 'read the fine print'?

They may not have argued but they sure have discouraged!

Don't Hoard? Hah!

I am a hoarder! A hoarder, a hoarder, a hoarder.

Depends on what your definition of "early" is, I guess.

My definition is: "Before now".
