GZ- You are correct, but I believe its 2049 or 2039. Also, most organizations are using windowing- just postponing the inevitable!

Additionally, and probably far more seriously and omniously, the best technical reports are now predicting potentially devastating ecological disasters occuring, gradiently, soon to greatly escalate, and to peak roughly in about 15 years. The last 2 years are harbingers of things to come.

ARMY EXPECTS SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE GRID!<Y2K Analyses for Complex Systems of Systems: Electric Power Systems in North America

If you don't think Y2K will seriously affect the power grid in North America, better read this, because the US Army doesn't agree. A text-only version of the slideshow starts here.

Any reservists here should not be shocked when you get that special phone call to report within 24 hours!!!!

In WW2, it was "Join the army and see the world"!

In December it will be "Join the army and visit America's cities while you save the country"!

and,

"Your tour of duty will be for 2 years, or until the grid permanently collapses and/or the federal government is dissolved, whichever comes first"!
