<< I agree with Steve on the Y2K "problem". I'm a technical writer, and have worked in the software industry for over 10 years. I find that the majority of the people (like my mom) who are "scared" by the Y2K thing (which the media has blown out of proportion due to nothing else interesting to talk about) are people who do NOT make their living by computers--they are scared of computers, so they are also scared of problems with computers. >> I don't know about that. My husband is a highly sought computer expert and he's nervous. So are some of his friends that are even higher up the echelon in the computer world. Some of them are definitely city people, yet they have gone out and bought acres and acres of land in the middle of Idaho in preparation for New Years 2000. I'm going to be on the safe side. I hope nothing much happens, but just in case, I'll be ready. If nothing does happen, well, I'll have enough candles to last the rest of my life, and enough canned goods that I can happily donate to homeless shelters. Pamela Known for being cautious
