Will I pay for one? No. I don't need one. I only have a couple of applications on my PC that I consider critical to my daily, weekly, monthly, or annual processes. I know what those applications are, and I know the status of their Y2K compliance. I checked their websites. If some of the others fail, so what? If/when that happens, I'll either apply the upgrade (if it exists) or find another way to get done what needs to be done. NO TED NOOOOO! YOU WILL SURELY DIE ON DEC 31 1999 11:59 P.M. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. THE WHOLE MILLENIUM BUG IS THE START OF ARMAGEDDON. FIRST YOUR CD ROM STOPS WORKING BECAUSE IT THINKS IT IS 1900 AND CDS HAVE NOT BEEN INVENTED. FOR THAT MATTER ROM HAS NOT BEEN INVENTED(except in egypt 5000 B.C. but that is a completely different story) NEXT YOUR DISK DRIVE GETS CONFUSED BECAUSE IT THINKS IT IS 1989 AND THE 3.5 INCH FLOPPY IS JUST A DRAWING ON A CHAULKBOARD AT SEAGATE. NEXED THE MODULATOR DEMODULATOR CRASHES BECAUSE 56K IS JUST TO MUCH FOR A (WHAT SHOULD BE A )300 bps. THEN YOUR MICROVAVE BLOWS UP BECAUSE IN 1900 THEY WERE STILL RUBBING STICKS TOGETHER. YOUR KITCHEN IS ON FIRE SO YOU PICK UP THE PHONE TO CALL, BUT,......NO DIAL TONE...OH YES NO SUCH THINK AS FIBRE OPTICS AND ELECTRONIC PHONES IN 1900. PLUS THE COMPUTERS IN THE FIRETRUCKS HAVE FAILED TO START THE TRUCKS ANYWAY. THEN A PIZZA DELIEVERY DRIVER CRASHES THROUGH YOUR PICTURE WINDOW BECAUSE THE CHIP IN HIS 1999 MERCEDES BENZ STEALTH (DON'T KID YOURSELF, PIZZA DELIVERY PEOPLE HAVE THE MOST WEALTH IN THE WORLD , FOLLOWED CLOSELY BY CHINESE FOOD AND KFC) ALL THIS BECAUSE YOU, YOU SIR, FAILED TO DETECT ALL THOSE NON COMPLIANT FILES I've been thinking.... it doesn't really matter whether the discovery y2k is a great product or not. you know why. You bloody Americans thats why. you are crazed for shopping. You don't care what it is for. you just need to buy. You think that people wouldn't buy the pet rock if a thread had been started on SI. No way man, Americans love their pets You think people are thinking when they shell out $100 for a furby or tickle me Elmo? Free enterprise man. The right of a few to exploit the crazed impulse buyers of AMerica. And Guess what...We Canadians are on to you. OH YEAH! we provide the fruit roll ups and Zoodles and the pre sliced and diced for the 270 million lazy people out of 280 million AMericans. WOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Give the man a break Ted. At least JOHN CHAPMAN HAS STUCK THROUGH ALL OF THIS. Can't we all just get along. 11 days to Christmas Man.
