Thanks for that Yahoo article on early Y2K glitches. FACT: <In Singapore, computerized taxi meters went dead at noon Jan 1 for about 2 hours, according to the Sunday Times.> YAHOO NEWS - Associated Press URBAN LEGEND: <Computerized Taxi Fare meters will malfunction, giving New Years revellers free rides home.> Looks like one of the "urban legends" you posted previously, actually came true in Singapore New Years weekend! Though I doubt there were any free rides:-) Message 6914963 "Millennium Bug strikes Taxis in Singapore" boston.com Taxis in Sweden ran into problems too. Cheryl

Daylight savings time has proven to be hazardous to your health. They say there are more accidents when you turn the clocks ahead and loose an hour sleep. I wonder if there was enough hype about Daylight savings time in the media, would lawyers try suing for this reason? WARNING: Millions and Millions and Millions of people are going to be affected by daylight savings time this year. If you forget to change your clock, you could be late for work and be fired. Or you could be in an hour early for work and be locked out of your building, and what if you forgot your keys in your car, YOU COULD FREEZE TO DEATH IN THE COLD!! Your microwave will be affected, your VCR, your watch, your clocks everywhere are going to be affected by DLST. (daylight savings time) Just think of all the man hours that are going to be spent on daylight savings time this year. >>>>SCARY<<<< PREPARE NOW
