Mathematically, we can avoid ever getting to Y2K. We can get halfway there. Then half of that. Then half of that, and so on until we take infinately small "steps". Since we can continue dividing the remaining time by 2, we never have to get to Y2K.

Aren't numbers wonderful!

By jove 999, I think you've done it!! The other solution might be to close our eyes and wish it away, or better yet, pretend nothings happening. Take yer pick....

What's all this Y2K stuff I've been hearing about? Something wrong with dem 'puters?!

-- Bob (MontanaBob@aol.com), December 16, 1999.

Admit it. Y'all can't wait to find out how this thing pans out. Were we wrong? Were we all fools to worry? Does nothing bad happen? Do terrorists blow up something important? Is it even worse than Infomagic ever imagined...?

Like reading the ultimate detective novel with only 15 pages left to read.

It'll all be over soon.

WILL Batman save the Boy Wonder from the evil clutches of the Joker? WILL Gotham be destroyed by yet another fiendish plot by the Penguin???

SAME Bat time!

SAME Bat channel!

Kook, just sit in the payroll office with puppy eyes and your hand extended palm-up. Someone will have to be there to run the load to the post office. Find out the day. Or you can inform the payroll office of your address change which is ___________ (insert here the address to your payroll office, including suite number. You can even do it c/o ____ (name of person posting mail)). heh, there's gotta be a way around...
