<Canadians know more about the USA than Americans do about Canada. FACT!! >>

Actually, this American knows a lot about Canada. You see, my closest business associate and friend, is one of the most powerful and connected Canadian financiers and conglomerate owners.

Secondly, I have been closely following the trials and tribulations of the Expos and Blue Jays for years. I can not believe that the Expos have not been able to acquire enough financial backing to be a pennant winner every year, with all the stars they have had to let go, due to not being able to afford them.

The Blue Jays letting Clements leave/trade? And, before him, other stars? They need better management who will keep the best players there.

Also, I know about Easiac- have you heard of that?

Have you learned about Abacus?

I can't believe some headlines that have nothing to do with Y too Kay. If something happens during a Y too Kay test, and had nothing to do directly with Y2K, the headline will read "Blah blah blah during Y2K test"

(Hypothetical situation)
Now, if a pilot was flying a plane, and while flying he was reading a book on how to fix Y2K problems in computers, this pilot was so fascinated by the book, that the plane flew right into the side of a mountain.

What do you think the headlines would read?


"Y2K claims life of veteran Pilot"

"Y2K causes plane crash"

"Y2K, and aircraft prove deadly"
