>>...as I plotted my polite getaway from a dinner date with a lady who sincerely believed that the world was going to end before the year 2000 and whose family had already "taken" precautions up in the mountains),.<<

Now read Hugh's post today (9/15) about the Year 2000 bug causing automatic nuclear war at 12:01 a.m. on January 1, 2000.

Which mountain is this hideaway in? Ampex needs to pick it up fast so I can get enough cash to by my lot up there.

Heck, maybe I should see if the date glitch will register all my AXC stock at the price I first paid for it. Then I can cash out just when the market opens (on January 2).

Here's an idea - maybe we should declare a 2 day holiday in 2000 instead of just January 1. This would ease any problems in slowly. Maybe a whole week would be better! Those that didn't go along would find some problems and the effect would be minimized.

Unless of course Zimbanistan's nukes get launched!
