Thanks fellow link folk!

I should mention that this should be used by the "polly" folk to do their research. The fist link on this page from the USIA provides more access to Y2K sites within the US than any other site.

This was inspired by Mr. Deckers thread about good Y2K news from yesterday and I thought it was good that at least one "optimistic" person is trying to do some research. At least it is better that silly rants about the fact that Y2K is no problem. It is a problem but there is alot of folk working on the problem. Where does the real truth lie?

Next year we will know for sure.

-- Brian (imager@home.com), July 30, 1999.


Wow! That was amazing.

-- Amy Leone (leoneamy@aol.com), July 30, 1999.


Amy

What is amazing? That Decker would inspire me to do something?

Yes that is amazing :o)

-- Brian (imager@home.com), July 30, 1999.


This is absolutely wonderful! Thank you so much - definite BOOKMARK! Am downloading documents to print later as I write. What a great idea and so much effort. I knew I came to this forum for great info, and gems like this are prized - Thank you
