Subject: RE: BS: Do YOU know what the Y2K bug is?
Well, I think it's that thing where programs that use only the last two digits in the year won't know whether we turned another year or went back 99. It's either that, or the one where the evil aliens land and kick off the apocalypse (wondering if "Apocalypso" might be a good name for a New Year's Eve band) by giving electronic appliances a will of their own. I dunno, but I think I'll unplug my toaster just in case.

(And has anyone seen that hilarios Nike commercial with the tanks and missles and giraffes?)
