Blair to publicly wrestle mainframes: Sunday London Times

Chief-of-state goes public bigtime on y2k.

snippets:

<<< The government's own plans to tackle the problem include a telephone
hotline, mailshots and the possibility of television and newspaper
advertising. >>>

[Not to mention a 1-900 #, where for 4.99/hr (not per LOC), Cindy will coo
in your ear "You've got the biggest, most y2k-compliant mainframe I've
ever seen honey."]

<<< Robin Guenier, a former government adviser on the bug and now head of
the independent Taskforce 2000, has been lobbying the government to
launch a marketing campaign since last spring. "It's very good to hear the
government is finally adopting everything I told them to," he said. >>>

Cheeky little bastard, that Guenier.
