What is a "predicts"?

You said:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
You and your ilk who use ONE isolated outage in the best of times as an example in invalidate our predicts - we see these absurd extreme comparisons in all the y2k forums-( you are not clever enough to have thought of that first, you know)- are ABSOLUTELY unassociatable with outages occuring many hundreds/thousands/tens of thousands of places simultaneously thruout the world, with normalcy in the resultant reactions.

Why so? If you can't answer that yourself, maybe you can find some kind soul here who will have the extreme patience necessary to spend a lot of time doing helping you out on this one, or otherwise, there are a lot of other y3k threads with a lot of very sharp individuals who may have the kindness of heart to educate you on that, IF you ask very politely, and confess that YOU ARE A Y2K NEWBIE !

It may have been one isolated outage, but it was not the best of times. It was in the middle of winter. The problem was not lack of water, but frozen water - like in frozen pipes.

Absurd and extreme? Try this - outages occuring many hundreds/thousands/tens of thousands of places simultaneously thruout the world".

y3k threads! How about we finish this one first.

I always ask very politely.
