That reminds me of the good ol' days at FBN when we all sat around the war room table (aka: lunch room table) and discussed (aka: argued over) the various ways to ameliorate (aka: fix) the global Y2K crisis.

Some of the developers "quibbled" over basic manual processing approaches, seemingly just to get in their 2 cents worth. But, fixing the problem via manual procedures was just too time consuming and error prone.

Some developers suggested various automated "bit manipulation" techniques that would come close to solving the problem, but in the end, failed miserably.

We held those "conferences" weekly. Every Thursday.

It was the same every week.

Nothing but "quibbles and bits".

[-- If you've never had a dog, you might not pick up on that stupid joke. But, I don't want to explain it because that would disrupt the velvety smooth flow of this thread -- ]

Sure is a pretty day.
