David, enjoyed your most recent Y2K column:
y2ktimebomb.com

My favorite line:
Driven by the spirit of clueless, 25-year-old headline writers and their equally out-of-touch senior editors, who understand the importance of If it bleeds, it leads! for grabbing eyeballs but lack any deep understanding of complex systems, the mainstream media will continue to waffle between the extremes of End Of The World and Bill Gates Will Solve It For $49.95.

Now, here's a suggestion for your next column: "How Will Y2K Mania Affect Wall Street?"
