So far it looks good on CNN.
The time to watch for is when Universal Time ( Formerly
Greenwich Mean Time) rolls over. That is the time the
military and scientific users go by.
You New Zealanders were nearly the first, although
Clay Lacey's plane flying back and forth over the
International Date Line is hard to beat.
I believe the Internet also uses Universal time as a basis
so here in California I will wait till 4 P.M. before cheering.
If nothing goes wrong on Universal time rollover there is
unlikely to be a problem at midnight in California.
Do check your bills and financial statements in the New Year
to make certain the people you are dealing with were Y2K
compliant. The "power goes out" end of the world scenarios
are mostly fantasy, but the problems lurking in the data bases
are probably both real and sporadic.
And a Happy New Year to you.

Erie PA had an unexplained power blackout this afternoon. Half of the homes
went down and nobody knew why. I have family there and so I got a call. Last
thing I heard was General Electric had no idea what was going on but were
looking into the problem.

This afternoon, the computers still said 1999, so you can't blame it
on Y2K. We had a power glitch yesterday at work, but it didn't have
*anything* to do with Y2K, it was basic human stupidity.

Well my Chebucto account has been bouncing email sent
to it since about midnight on Thursday. Not a calendar
problem but likely the result of the unix dorks making a
last minute unnecessary and untested fix. So no feb posts
from me. <sheds tear>
Speaking of the Y2K problems: I am prepared to bet that more
people will screw up their systems trying to make them Y2K
compliant than will be screwed up by actual Y2K problems.

It was. Half the sub was in 1999 and the other half was in 2000...

I heard that dates on parts of BBC Online rolled over to 01 Jan, 1900.
The web site for On-News rolled over to 01 Jan, 100!

Well the computers at the Macdonald's in Windsor, NS went down
and the people on the counter had to add up your bill by hand. I
hear there were tears and much pulling of hair until someone managed
to turn on the bosses calculator. Even after that they refused to make
change. Too difficult.
laura capozzola
LOL! If that happened in the supermarket where something was 5 cans for
$2.60 and the cashiers had to figure out how much for 2 cans they'd have
a heart attack.

Back in the day when I used to say, "Welcome to Roy Rogers. May I take
your order." with a disturbing frequency, our computers went out.
The managers wanted to shut down. We even had calculators. The whole
calculating tax concept was just beyond their comprehension.

We do this manually so rarely today most of us
have forgotten how to do it. Hell, some of these
clerks have never seen a cash register that did
not have little pictures on the keys.

Isn't *all* food served in school cafeterias "fake and totally
illegal"? :-P
When my college roommate was sick she wanted Chef
Boy-ardee ravioli from the can and Jiffy corn muffins from
the box. JTIS.

Of course, he couldn't beat one end of that submarine.

It's all right, Laura. Most of us remove the ravioli from the can
before eating it.

I don't think that was Alan. I think it was the anti-Alan, -A. Be

Isn't the cold why Tim Horton's coffee is so popular? Or the doughnuts,
for that matter. And fries with gravy (or even poutine, now that I know
what that is) -- to "thicken" the blood. ;-D
I say embrace the cold, go outside, and make Mulder & Scully

It's about 70 and sunny here in SoCal today. I'm wearing a long
sleeve shirt just so I can distinguish winter from spring here. It's
windy, though (I hate that) and will get down around 35 tonight.

Oh you have missinterpreted my words. I said ready as in

few days we could do it many times over. Hell, even the ducks

It is ever so difficult. ;-P
I have to admit, I'm still on vacation and haven't been up early
enough to see any frost or anything.

Yes, well, when you grow up, dear, and get a job, you can buy yourself
a nice new coat. However, if you continue to live in California, you
may not get to wear it. ;-)

With luck he'll travel to California and end up in the same

for musicians that need to grow the hell up?

Good place for him too..
Here is another prime example of somebody who is superbly talented, gifted
even...
and is doing everything they can to f**k it up...
it's a lowdown rotten shame!
but..on the bright side..
the sun is shining here in Ontario- and it's not that cold. Huzzah!
I am!

You don't get it do ya? No underwear? During winter? Tis the sign... THE
SIGN!!! He is the chosen one... He will lead us to greatness.... the
profanity you hear, it is just because your ears aren;t yet adjusted to
hearing the word of God... and aside from rumors that he enjoys "golden
showers"... McIsaac is fit to be our leader...

You know... I was kinda partial to that bikini-clad-Kimba (ahhh the memory
of ample Kimba Kleavage.... ummm) but she laughed at me when I showed up in
my Parka speedo... isnt anyone aware that cold induces significant
shrinkage??? Damn it...

Somehow I don't get any sympathy from my relatives
