the whole time everyone in a panic, i laughed at them...

and i was right!!!

i hate the fact they called it the Millenium bug, considering it was ment to be a 100 year misunderstanding!!!

all of a sudden even educated people were refering to centuries as milleniums... it was just sad!

but more importantly it was a subtle hint that the whole think was fraud!!! fraud to make everyone spend money ensuring the digital bogey man wasn't going to soddomize them in their sleep!!!!

I was more irritated at the stupidity of all those idiots who thought 2000 was the start of the new mellenium. Idiots.

I wasn't into the whole millenium thing... i was just exited about the 21st century thing...

I was working in a Call Centre that serviced Microsoft's Customer Service Centre during this time. It was one of the funniest times I can recall. Perfectly intelligent rational people would call up with the most absurd notions.

I like people! They make me laugh.

Interests:Well, I enjoy a fine bottle of scotch sometimes. I am also interested in women. I'm not a homosexual, if that is what you are implying. I also enjoy skateboarding, riding the cerf, killing bugbears, and Stratego. I am a devote Catholic (in case you couldn't tell! lol). Other than that, I am just a normal guy. I believe Nixon got it right the first time, that we should live in a society with an elaborate caste system, and that the only thing better than looking like a million bucks is Being a million bucks... Literally!

I think its stupid that there was no year zero. It makes more sense that a millenium would start at 2000. But because some people were silly, it doesn't. The thing that bugs me is im pretty sure the concept of zero did exist 2000 years ago, so they have no excuse.

I still remember spending New Year's Eve '99/2000 at Reader's house. At 12:00 am, we sat, waited, and then began laughing hysterically. We'd been saying for months that nothing would happen, and it was hiliarious to find out that we'd been right. I still have boxes from computer parts kicking around that say "Y2K Ready!" on them. Mostly stuff my mom bought.

My father's friend actually purchased a cabin up in the Yukon to escape the crazies that would be running around looting everything in the city and suburbs.

My dad just bought some water and that's about it.

I remember on a television program early in January, 2000, there was an interview with an American spokesperson and an Egyptian spokesperson. The American man said that it was because of all the millions of dollars they spent on preparing for the Mellenium Bug that there was no problem.

Then the Egyptian man proudly proclaimed that they had done nothing and they were fine.

The American guy was a bit quiet after that and then started reasoning it out, trailing off into embarrassed jibberish.

It was.... wonderful.

I remember many heated arguments at the pub...

I was yelling at people and drawing in a bit of crowd... I mis that pub...
it was so easy to get everyones attention... it was like CHEERS.

I was try to reason with poeple saying: "no, traffic lights will not tick over and say oh no, it's 1900, cars aren't in circulation yet, i gues that means theres no traffic, oh well , i better just switch off or flick randomly in intil 1937!!!"

it was just stupid!!!

My mom bought candles. And canned food. And bottled water. The plus side was that I had some tasty bottled water to take to school for lunches for, like, a month after that, and all the canned corn I could eat.

the best thing about being right was that if i had actually been wrong, society would have been distroyed and none of the idiots would have been safe to approach me to say "I told you so, even though it made no sense."

I was going to winn no matter what!!!
