"In illustrating lack of preparation in some places, Gershwin said members of Indonesia's national electricity board recently told a local newspaper that they can watch what happens at midnight in Australia and New Zealand and still have six hours to make plans. "

Six hours...just enough time to get your heart right with God and turn off the lights.

Hey, folks, it looks like Koffinsky got a lobotomy. Check out this recent photo of him. Hhhhmmm. Or is that just the alien cobra plasticized mask sagging?

There's an article too ;^) "Chief Bug Squasher"

A Must-Read! LOL

Definitely *something* going on there. Lobotomy, implant, who knows?

I plan to enlarge that photo and hang it in my office. That alone will keep me vigilant on my preps.

Heeheeheheheeheheheh the nightmare pin-up

implants? nodes?

Lobotomy. Left side of brain - the creative side.

I read the article too. Barf. Isn't it nice that Kosky didn't "force a single agency or company into Y2K compliance through government regulations"?

Gov regs force compliance in every ridiculous thing they dream up. But not Y2K. Mustn't be "heavyhanded". Can you think of a single gov reg that isn't, in both its effect and practice?

Well, doesn't that make us feel warm and gooshy all over?
