At least we avoided Infomagic.

It's been, uh, 2-3 hours.

Failures are somehow still happening.

Hope you prepared for recession.

Hope we don't get it.

He who laughs last laughs the loudest. About this time next year we should be hearing some laughter for either the doomers or pollies.

Hi ThunderLight!

Do you remember the name of that thread with your pemmican recipe?

I thought for sure I saved it and can't find it now. I think the subject had something to do with Canada didn't it? It was during the last week of December. Can't believe I lost it, guess I wasn't figuring the forum would be shut down.

-- Hawk (flyin@high.again), January 09, 2000.

Real problem. Vastly, greatly remediated.

Hawk, give it a rest.

-- (snotty@nd.sneezing), January 09, 2000.

What do you mean give it a rest, I'm on a roll!

Just trying to imagine how some of the corporate CEOs might summarize Y2K in 5 words a few months from now.

Who says we have to agree with your summarization? After all, if it hadn't been "overestimated," it might have been ignored, we might not be sitting here using our computers right now, and all the whiners would be complaining that it was "underestimated." You can't please everyone.

sheesh Hawk ... ask me something I can remember this late at night - errr, early in the morning ... like ... ummm, never mind, ask me tommorrow. :-)

If I remember, I'll e-mail it to ya. Better yet, e-mail me and remind me tommorrow, I'm gonna sleep between now and then.

Darn. We need more programmers.

-- Tim (pixmo@pixelquest.com), January 09, 2000.

Lol Tim! This might turn out to be another busy year for programmers. I think they are going to have to write programs just to correct all of the bad data that will be piling up in the months to come.

-- recovering (doomer@the.clinic), January 09, 2000.

I know, Hawk. Good or bad, it's gonna be a busy year for programmers regardless.

If you're skilled and reputable, the work is piled deep. At last that's my experience...I feel like Cindy Crawford in a singles bar :- ) As long as the electricity and the money is flowing, it's going to be busy for a long time.
