ABC News just carried Congressman Horn, he was slamming the federal agencies,
the most interesting fact is that the percentage estimate of 'systems completed

Here's a cory-prediction, others, please feel free to join in... we'll see the
percentage fall by 10 percent each quarter until it bottoms out at about 30

My guestimate from last summer was 20% of the systems will be functional on
Y2K-day ...and that would take a massive, cost is no object, whip the geeks
effort.
Hey Brad, Don, where's the good news? I wanna hear some hype. Let's get a few
more denial-heads in here. This is too one sided now... this game is over.
The course of action now is Triage, making hard choices, socking away supplies,
I wanna see towns and cities go milne. We know that rail will fail. The denial

Did everyone catch WDC Y2K on TV this morning? ...a nicely done piece by CBNnews.
It'll be rebroadcast on cable tonight, 11:00PM on the 700 Club... the leadoff
statements were by a Y2K fanatic, fat, bald, who could that have been....
