Bold text is a real cool thing.
This is a bit from my award winning nothing, The life of a
moron.
While I was in
school one day, I thought to myself how much I hate people. I came
to the conclusion that Bold Text scares people and makes them
inferior to me.

As many times as I've seen it said here during the last couple of
years that Y2k was a hoax, I'm surprised someone has the guts to
claim he or she was an expert on the subject!

Chick,
re >>By reading most of the y2000 responses, it appears that the
big difficulty we are all encountering is not in defining a new date
storage algorithm, but finding the time, money, and resources to
change the hundreds (thousands?) of programs, database
storage parameters, file definitions, etc. in existing systems.<<
Right!
Whether or not folks decide to expand everything from yy to yyyy
or do some fancy bit twiddling in place or whatever is of little
concern (I think). People will, as alwasy, choose a bewildering
array of manners to fix their situations.
The major problem will be finding the resources. Companies
simply don't have a lot of excess recourse sitting around.
Business (tax law changes, responding to competitive changes,
opening new markets, etc) won't stop while we take 4 years out
to fix Y2K issues.
How shops go about this resource allocation decision will
indeed be interesting.
I'm sure some will try to sell a business, only to find no takers.

Hey, I just discovered your site! Forget Y2K and make this a
survival site --- don't give up on this. Lots of good info and
HUNGRY folk out there who are scared, worried and totally open to
taking prudent responsibility for their homes and families. Keep up
the interesting and highly informative input, guys.

Wow, I can't believe there are still folks on here from the old
days. Y2K Pro, there's one I remember. Does Neatsfoot come on here
much. I know him. We may need supplies in the future, Y2K or not.

Hey, where is everyone? The stock market went down today. The
rescue of Private Lynch seems to have been staged. Tax cuts for the
wealthy 1% is on track. The Republicans are continuing their march
to empire in jack-boots while slashing civil liberties, and the
Democrats, or the "lily livered, weasel ass collaborationists" are
just posturing, not protesting. So isn't anyone talking anymore?

Y2K - Lessons learned
-- (lessons_le@rn.ed), May 31, 2003.
So sad that TB2K has split into two splinter factions, one of which
("tb2k full topic") is infested with christian identity types of such
venom that they are falling over themselves in support of the
murderer Eric Rudolph, and the other of which ("tb2k") is only
slightly milder in degree.
Does Ed Yourdon really appreciate having his name besmirched by those
fora? I cringe each time I see him on Fox News, wondering if a
viewer will call in and spill the beans on the awful filth that's
being promulgated under the name he gave his book.
-- so sad (so@sad.indeed), June 03, 2003.
Well I just wandered in. I started on that board in late 97
[whenever it started]. I remember when Diane first came on
board. I also spent some time on CSY2K and on Debunkers.
Charles was an ol'friend.
I was one of those folks dumped when the board went to
EZBoard. I was personally canned by Ed, or so the post said.
There were about 2 dozen of us that didn't make the cut. No big
deal; I looked at the main board today and there didn't seem to
be much there. Then, if the people there are happy with it, who
am I to judge. Have you heard from Latimer and the others?
Best Wishes,,,,,,

Actually, TB2K split off into many different forums, not just two.
You forgot about, among others,
TB2K spinoff uncensored,
Unk's Wild Wild West and
HumptyDumptyY2K. Chris, Unk and a majority of those who were
concerned about potential Y2K problems had nothing to do with
whatever this "christian identity" thing is that you're obviously
concerned about.

Hello,
Happened
in today and saw Z's post.
Timing is
everything. :)
Doing
pretty well, incorporated my company, bought a house, still post from
time to
time and still tilt at proverbial windmills.
Occasionally post at Badastronomy.com and Randi.org. Recently was called a 'debunker'
again,
because of my challenging of the idea that Planet X was going to kill
us
all. Some things never
change. :)
My
wife is well, the cat is still stupid, and all seems fairly right
with the
world, except what occasionally goes wrong with it. Hope things are well for everyone else!
Keep
smiling,
Jonathan
