>>This reveals what I believe to be an evil streak inside you that I don't know how to deal with<<

Grow up, Chris. You can dish it out but you can't take it. You are the one who started insulting the company, now you are trying to turn it around in a most self-righteous and holier than thou manner. Now I am evil because I call you on your crap? I think you are putting me on.

I'll tell you what. You don't post to me and I won't post to you or let's take it to PM.

Hi Chris,

Someone posted the link to the USA Today article on another thread

A short excerpt:

Y2K bug spawns host of cures

Everybody's got a fix for the Year 2000 bug. And I do mean everybody.

Big companies, little companies, companies whose only address is a post office box in the Bahamas. With every tick of the clock toward Jan. 1, 2000, another horde of them seethes from the woodwork and descends on corporate executives, people running computer departments, small-business owners, consumers and, quite frankly, me.

Pretty soon, Y2K solutions are going to be sold on street corners, stacked on wobbly card tables next to pirate copies of Mulan. They'll pop up on late-night infomercials with celebrity endorsers: ''Hi, I'm Bea Arthur and boy do I have a Year 2000 solution for you.''

''Everyone's getting bombarded,'' says Timothy Scudder, a vice president at Gartner Group. ''The problem is, it's difficult to know what's real and what's not.''
