Just in case my computer ceases to function at the stroke of midnight on
12/31 or the devil decides to make an appearance and tells me I'm going
down or the 4 Horsemen ride through and pick me up or some terrorist
idiots somewhere decide to do something nasty (especially in my neck of
the woods) or the aliens decide THE TIME IS NOW or I see Elvis at the
7-11 and he invites me to his concert in Vegas for the weekend, I want
you all to know you are the finest people that I have had the
opportunity to share the last century with. (ooh, ooh grammar error!)
AND, I'll be thinking of all of you as I eat my beanie weenies out of a
can and roam the United States in tattered clothes looking for The
Postman. So, HAPPY NEW YEAR! a little early, you know, just in case.

AND Happy Anniversary (12/31) to the Carters!

Hey now, that's a good book and movie too. I've been thinking about it
today as I was planning on which post-apocalyptic leader to follow.

> So, HAPPY NEW YEAR! a little early, you know, just in case.

Happy New Year to you! And all yous others too.
(Just a little early because you know, I plan to be not coherent in the
heart of a major metropolitan area at this time tomorrow night.)

However the Mulder glasses campaign will continue at full strength. I
mean where will one find saline solution in a post apocalyptic world?

Ah- you see, we here in the Tundra are used to such things..

Why- we will merely strap on our mukluks and snowshoes, grab an oil lamp or two,
and make our way across the frozen wastes to lift a libation or three with our
fellow woodland inhabitants...
Moos wah' the moose and Beav'wah the beaver.
Then..we will all listen to Great Big Sea and Sarah MacLauchlin, and toast the
millennium with a cold frosty beer.
And eat some Kraft dinner. and some back bacon.

And to really celebrate, we'll get all decked out in our finest parkas and
mittens- and a brand spanking new "Y" toque, eh?
Then we'll get out our coal oil powered, and hand cranked computers, and have a
wild time on the internet!
And we'll carry large maple leaf branches to ward off the Algerian terrorists who
may be lurking near our borders...

I am!

Happy New Year to the best bunch of 'Philes I know...

Be careful with those libations. Make sure you know from whence they
were brewed, if you catch my meaning. If you're drinking with the
wildlife and all...

But the Great Big Sea (Celine? Isn't that who you mean... unless
that's the name of some REAL group originating in Canada)... I mean
Celine is retiring as of tomorrow night. I say: Give us back Maine,
you Canucks! You no longer have any power over us!

Hey, you could listen to kd lang. She's a talented Canadian gal.

>And eat some Kraft dinner. and some back bacon.

Yum. And yum again.

Just crank up that Celine on your self powered computers and no
terrorists will bother you. She's Canada's number one defense. And
offense.

>Happy New Year to the best bunch of 'Philes I know...

Um... Me too.

>course - you are the ONLY bunch of 'philes I know... but I digress...

How many are in a bunch?

Okay, bye,

Happy New Year! We should have everyone check in after midnight in their
timezone to see what happens, presuming of course that the computers are still
functioning... Remind me to go out into the woods and get a really big stick
for defense...

Why thanks!

According to the many tests I have performed upon my thought to be Y2K ready computer,
it will fail miserably, and the four horsemen will run roughshod over the computer's
BIOS.

I will have to go back to bearskins and stone knives to access the internet.

Keep an eye out for the smoke signals from the tundra, will ya?

I am!

Not to worry. I got the last of them across the border yesterday.
They are off to play pranks in South Dakota, a state where almost
no one owns a gun. Or so they've been told........

I'm probably telling you something you already know, but you might be able
to find a patch for your BIOS. When your computer loads and the source of
your BIOS comes up, hit Pause/Break on your keyboard. You can then write
down the manufacturer and version of your BIOS. Mine was Phoenix
Technologies. Search for them on the web and most likely they will tell you
if your BIOS are Y2K compliant and may even have a patch or upgrade (free)
to download.
