Problem solved. Spend your energy trying to explain science to the
masses. >This is not science. It is culture.


Since I am one who has trouble separating 'science' from 'culture', I will
be celebrating the 'Changing of the Digit' when the Y2K begins, then I will
join one of my favorite 'eggheads', Arthur C. Clarke, author of "2001" when
the new millenium begins, one year later.

Party DOWN!

(Interesting aside: Microsoft has had to rename their next version of NT.
It is to be called Windows2000 [WindowsY2K ?] instead of NT 5.0. Seems that
Northern Telecom [NorTel] hasn't been willing to let go of their NT logo.)
