Well, when you live in Sedona, which is very far away from the ocean, the only 'surf'ing you can do is on the net. Guess what I found this morning? A new (to me, anyway) technique for solving the Y2K crisis. I've seen expansion, contraction, bridging, windowing, bit twiddling, data biasing, rewriting, replacing, and burying. But, redefining the year values to mean something else? itpolicy.gsa.gov Now I've seen it all. Looks like we need to add yet another entry to the FBN-Nothingator software documentation set. TED

TED, not sure why you're having problems with our "fully-automated" e-mail purchase system. We did an end-to-end proof of concept between Kevin and me when I ordered a box of those Vertex thingies and I put them in production a few days ago and fully tested them. And, I am happy to say, nothing leaked out to the media. So, now that we have a success with one delivery, I propose we prepare a press release saying we have a 100% success rate. Furthermore, I can honestly say that I have not read a single thing from or about any mail-order company that claims to have an error-free delivery rate. I think there may yet be life for FBN post 2000. - Jeff

Humbly excited, TED, about them "Red Rockin' Grannies"! They are gonna do this one, right? hidwater.com Thanks for the front row center little red rockin' chair ticket! Which reminds me, do we have a FBN Rockin' Cradle solution for y2k? For those that just want to sleep through it all? Fully automated? I remain, humbly rockin' by the mail slot of the mail room, virtually near the first arch of the Mala Strana side of Charles Bridge, where they serve great hot rum, gratis for me, yours truly, tater patch, Svejk (GL-15 applies: digiserve.com )

Humbly reprot, Sir, taht the Sedona Nightshirt is being withheld from the market. No, not a production problem - a clever ploy! Apparently we have secured a spot in the next 007 movie, "Tomorrow Never Misses a Lucrative Product Placement Opportunity" (starring Grandpa Simpson as Roger Moore). The logic here, Sir, humbly reprot, according to Riley in Marketing, that consumer demand will be whipped to a frenzy once the masses see 007 catching some Z's in the humble FBN sleep-wear. The demand side of the supply/demand equation being thusly magnified, the prices we can then charge, will be, in all humility, Sir, stupendous. That being the case, humbly suggest taht you make another choice from the FBN Fashions catalog, Sir, still plenty to choose from! I remain, humbly dozing on the console while tape mount requests scroll by unanswered, near the first arch of the Sophia Loren side of the Chuck-E-Cheese Bridge, where they serve great hot lunch, gratis for me, yours truly, Kevijn
