Well, nothing fell out so I assume it's OK. ;-)

Oh, it already started. Someone on Prezzy Clinton's staff already started
huffing and puffing about how we won't know the "full impact" of the
problem until the end of January.
I wager 4,000 Quatloos that, when that point comes, they'll claim they
won't know the "full impact" for at least another month. And then another,
and another, and... well, you get the idea.
Oh, and the MicroVAXen and Sun boxes here, the oldest of which was
designed and built in 1990, rolled right over to 2000 without a single
protest.
Lord above, what a non-event... too bad that people chose to focus their
energies towards a bunch of hype instead of something worthwhile, like,
say, a manned mission to Mars.
