And Sarkie, that chart is 28pts BELOW GNET's high!

A HIGH that (IMHO) that will be far exceeded in WhyTwoK,
thanks in part because of Paul Allen's involvement in GNET, and the relatively new "Broadband Partners" (GNET, CHTR, HSAC, RCNC)!!!

I use "Why" (TwoK) because I find it unbelievable that so many "brilliant" minds in the world could not figure out years ago that a "two-digit" number for the "year" in their "system" software and "program" software WOULD REALLY SCREW THINGS UP FOR THE WORLD (costing us all billions of totally wasted dollars)! And heck, as a relatively simple mostly "right-brained" guy (who didn't know a computer from a hole in the ground when the "geniuses" set up the "two-digit" system for counting years), I could have told them all, "THAT'S A REALLY DUMB IDEA!"

Heck, Apple computers figured it out from day one. They have always used "4 digits" for the year, and are good until something like the year 29,000 AD. Thus, they're Y29K compatible. That's long enough for me. IMO, the people who are going to make the most money out of the "WhyTwoK fiasco are (gee, guess who) . . .the lawyers.

Oh (as I don't live in Hawaii), I've chopped a few extra chords of firewood. But it should be one heck of a NEW YEARS EVE party! And as I always say, "A year from now it will all be history."
