Y2K HUMOR: Great Songs!! ========================================================== BOB DYLAN (Sung to the tune of The Times They Are A-Changin') Come gather 'round people From starboard and port, I have brought you some news Of a most scary sort The machines you depend on Are about to abort. And ya know that I'm not Just a ravin' Soon your two-digit years Will be two digits short For the dates they are a-changin'. Come gurus and pundits Who prophesize in the press, You better start singin' Or we'll soon have a mess. These old-fashioned years They no longer impress It's to nineteen-nine-nine That they're rangin' And what happens then I would not like to guess For the dates they are a-changin'. Come CEOs, programmers Please join the throng The technology's yours To kill off or prolong Find a cure for what ails us So you'll right your great wrong It's your code and it needs Rearrangin'. So write a new program Make it better than Pong For the dates they are a-changin'. c 1996 Lincoln Spector. All rights reserved. MORE SONGS ...

Jeff, re Press Releases about Y2K Work: I work for a very large company that has been addressing the Y2K problem in all its forms for quite some time. Here's my best guess about the possible mindset accounting for a lack of "news" on this subject: "It's a software project. We don't issue press releases when we start, finish (or cancel) software projects. (And before David Eddy protests that Y2K is a management problem, we don't issue a press release each time we have a management problem, either.<g>)"
