Modified for this thread "I plan on stocking up on laughter for either the "bump in the road" or "TEOTWAWKI" (is that spelled right?). Sometimes we are so intent on the other aspects of y2k that we forget how much we need to laugh ... especially at ourselves. Along that line, add this to your stockpile: 'What is the difference between Cheeky and a terrorist? You can negotiate with a terrorist." :-) J.L.T.

<No kidding, I knew that when several of the posters on this thread posted articles saying that EVERY IBM Mainframe in the world will have problems on 1/1/00, that many are no longer interested in the truth, but for some reason think there is a need to exaggerate.> JEFF REDMAN LOL - Real easy to check out .... techstocks.com Message 8091357 Two LONG Cory Hamasaki posts about a bunch of stuff, with IBM mainframe deal taking up only a few paragraphs ... and NO discussion, comment or editorial by anyone else on this thread (besides Jeff). Has anyone on this thread said that all IBM mainframes in the world would have problems? NO Who's exagerating? Cheryl

CK- I have been following Y2K for some time, have warned friends and family to make at least minor preparations and am myself more prepared than 95% of the population <not that that is good enough> but one thing that is starting to calm me is that there has been no MAJOR problems so far in 1999 that have come to light... thru 1998 we were being told that problems were going to start right after the beginning of the year... I am still very concerned but am starting to have doubts about this being as bad as I once feared. jeff
