My mother, who cannot even operate her phone machine and does not own a computer, called me recently to ask me whether I wanted her to buy me and the other members of my family $1500.00 worth of dried food supplies (each!!). She had gotten some sort of junk mail advertisement that had her panicked. I told her if she was really worried to get a case of canned soup and a non-electric can opener and put it out in the garage with some bottled water, and that I wasn't particularly worried. My mother is a canary too.

'... check for articles on CIO and CEO resignations' 'Rob, Good topic to bring up again. I have a few barometers. One is the IRS. Does anybody remember that the IRS promised compliance by January 1, 1999? See this link: news.com Are they? Another barometer is what happens on the first business day of 1999-- Monday, January 4th--two days from now. Will we hear a lot about accounting software failures? I'm watching the news on areas where there is a good chance of failures, such as the city of Washington D.C., Denver, Alabama, France and Germany. I also use Excite's news search to check for articles on CIO and CEO resignations. I have the following link bookmarked, and click it on everyday to check resignation news: search.excite.com*+CEO+-AFL The above link is how I found out about that last big resignation at EDS. When panic is about to hit, I figure CIOs and CEOs will start resigning, then the stock market will crash when the market "gets it," and then after the crash is when the public rush to buy preparation items will begin. -- Kevin (mixesmusic@worldnet.att.net), January 02, 1999. ... greenspun.com
