Y2K is a computador problem. It is systemitac and will effect every aspect of your life. The looters and roobers will shoot you and steal your food, The IRS will send you a bill for $90,000,000, Taco Bell will shut down, and if we are lucky there will only be a billion dead.

Y2K means spiky-haired ex-yuppies will storm your house, stampede your wimmen and children, rape your *ss and take your six-pack.

Well, I am glad that SOMEONE finally had the guts to ask! I always have meant to, but just never did.

No Taco Bell? The dog won't allow this!

Seriously, sir, in case you are serious, get all the canned food and bottled water you can possibly buy.... Read the archives for information.

You know... the scary thing is that I meet people every day who ask the same question. Usted tiene mucho valor, mi amigo! Como se dice en Espanol.... "Big Problems". We're just kidding you Julius...keep asking questions and read the archives. Vaya Con Dios

Y2K simply put means the Year 2000. It is now 90 days away and everyone is waiting for December 31, 1999 at the stroke of midnight so they can party hardy. I think the only way it will affect you is if you drink too much booze and you get a hangover from it. There are some who expect computer problems and there are some who think nothing will happen. If your an optimist, party hardy. If your a pessimist, and you haven't done anything to prepare for a potential problem, well party hardy because it's too late for you to do anything about your situation anyway. Don't worry about it, the government will take care of you. Watch for the BIG WHITE busses coming to your neighborhood soon.
