Norm: Re: bucking for the Nobel Peace Prize ... well, there it is again ... another reference to venison. What is it with you folks and deer meat? Did somebody post another one of those terrific Kool-aid recipes in the Clubhouse? I'm still recovering from that "Watermelon and Beef Jerkey" version. What next ... "Macaroni and Venison" ?? TED

Humbly report, Norm, punishment for offending you appears to be directed at where it hurts the most: ___________________________________________________________________ Quotes from: flash.oregonlive.com State agency plans platoon of programmers to battle "millenium bug." The Associated Press 11/30/97 5:55 PM Eastern SALEM, Ore. (AP) -- A platoon of 150 computer programmers is expected to review 12 million lines of computer code at the Oregon Department of Human Resources next year in the battle against a technical glitch known as the "millennium bug." [. . . ] Cobol programmers are in such demand that their wage, typically $30 to $40 an hour, has risen to $60 to $80 per hour on "Year 2000" projects, said Ann K. Coffou, managing director of Giga Information Group in Massachusetts. Science Applications has brought in two Ukrainian programmers to help fix the bug. They will work for half the rate charged by the dwindling pool of programmers who know Cobol and other mainframe computer languages.
