And a Happy New Year to you and yours. I wonder how many checks I'm gonna void by writing...../99 instead of ..../00?

Only 221 more posts after this one until we reach 'AIM10K'. Maybe we ought to have some type of public race (instead of all of the underhanded ones that have gone on reaching prior benchmarks). :-}

I happened across this in my emails: Thought it has some very funny lines.

LIFE BEFORE THE COMPUTER
--------------------------
An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A cursor used profanity
A keyboard was a piano!

Memory was something that you lost with age
A CD was a bank account
And if you had a 3 1/2 inch floppy
You hoped nobody found out!

Compress was something you did to garbage
Not something you did to a file
And if you unzipped anything in public
You'd be in jail for awhile!

Log on was adding wood to a fire
Hard drive was a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a backup happened to your commode!

Cut - you did with a pocket knife
Paste you did with glue
A web was a spider's home
And a virus was the flu!

I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper
And the memory in my head
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash
But when it happens they wish they were dead!


Wish me luck! I'm about to enter into Norton Y2K DiagnosticLand!
Hope I survive to see all of you next year.
Thanks Bob for the reply on regional settings. It's gonna be an interesting night!

Sincerely, 'Ready' in Richardson
