Kevin: Re: competition ...

Wow. I'm impressed. I didn't know there were that many colors in the rainbow. Too bad they didn't make it more interesting by using 30 or 40 different fonts. Bold and italics are OK, but, come onnnnn !!!

I was all excited about the potential for a real Y2K silver bullet, until I ran across the last line of the last page ...

"Due to ongoing negotiations the Centurian Solution is not presently available!"

Aw, shucks.

On the 2nd or 3rd page of that font-strosity, you'll find what the 'special sauce' is:

&#147However, with sort keys containing Q-CODED dates produced with our "Supreme 16" trade secret process #6 - "Progressive Scalarization," you can continue to use your present sort program,&#133&#148

Egad&#151not the Supreme 16 trade secret process #6! Sounds a little like Get Smart-2000, doesn't it?

Well, they HAVE mastered doing color in html, haven't they? Please tell me this is a JOKE?

I do like their slogan, though: "The Land of Centuria, where getting computers to change centuries is easy."
