.. who was predicting the world would be in chaos by now? Notice I havven't mentioned his name or the 2K thing in the thread title ... don't want to summon him. Just thought I would post a few of the more ludicrous quotes I stumbled upon when cleaning out old posts from my newsgroup archives: "The facts remain that 4/1/99 _is_ the rollover date - no changing that. And, those countries/cities are hopelessly behind. Japan: not even started. Canada/NYC: still in inventory phase (10%). " " That release date [4/2/99] is exactly one day after the fiscal year 2000 rollover dates for New York City, Japan, and Canada. That's one day after these establishments fall to total anarchy. I doubt you will be thinking about racing sims while CNN feeds live reports of worldwide collapse in progress from the above potent domino effect trigger mechanisms." "Oh, did I mention the "look ahead" Y2K failures of un-remediated systems that we will see beginning if just five days? " "Of course, I may be wrong, N3 _could_ be postponed indefinitely due to a programmer's draft possibly announced next month [Jan/99] sometime." And of course, one of my favourites, directed at someone who scoffed at the ludicrous notion of a programmer's draft: "Anyone got a good crow stew recipee?" Joe
>.. who was predicting the world would be in chaos by now? He's over on the TEN newsgroups bugging the ***out of everyone. Actually he could still be here for all I know, his killfile entry was indefinite! Cheers! John
