<PENCIL! This is SO funny!> What's even funnier is that some who peruse this thread - are gonna be frantically searching for the company that has this new technology ... "Wall Street is lining up behind the manufacture of this [Y2K] breakthrough and the federal government has begun talks with the inventor to acquire this new process and implement it on all 70,000+ mission-critical and non-mission-critical systems." Periodic Error Nullification, and Corrective Instrument Logic Just like FBN's April Fool's joke last year:-)) It was hilarious. I couldn't believe how many people were calling up (and getting mad at) their brokerage firms, trying to buy shares in a non-existent company. KEN: Great post. Cheryl ============================================================ Wish this were an April Fool's joke. Unfortunately, it isn't. OHIO BOY STOPPED FROM Y2K SOLVING MAYFIELD, Ohio, March 30 (UPI) - An 11-year-old boy hired this month by an Ohio school system to make its computers Y2K compliant, will not be allowed to complete his task. The state Bureau of Employment Services says (Tuesday) that, except for certain jobs, children must have permits to work in Ohio and work permits for an 11-year-old can't be issued while school is in session.

<PENCIL! This is SO funny!> Yep! Roleigh has worked so hard and pumped out so much excellent information, he was sure deserving of some laughs! But, some of you who know Roleigh may have missed something in his story! He has long and emphatically stated that 'there won't be a silver bullet!', so for him to immediately endorse a 'silver bullet' story, just because he saw a brief story about one ----well, he probably got another big laugh out of some thinking he would buy that one so blindly!
