Many banks look months ahead and pre-calculate interest rates to make sure
they'll be on budget, which implies that a few months before the actual
year change, many programs will have already processed a good deal of 'year
2000' stuff. And what the hell is with the Y2K acronym?
I hate that!! Why can't people just refer to it as... well.. why can't people
just stop referring to it all together? It's almost as if people just say
it because they like the way it sounds.. that's shitty. So, the bottom line
is that all you mystic astrology types out there need to quit worrying about
the new year. Don't listen to the media's bullshit, we have enough lunatics
running around and stocking up on food as it is. Nothing is going to happen;
the world isn't going to end because we're not that lucky.
I can't wait until the year 2000. Then maybe all the crazy bastards will quit
bitching about a computer melt down that will never happen. It's really
not the big deal people are making it out to be. Probably the
most significant of all systems that might be affected are banks--so what?
At least 210,512 people will still be alive and annoying in the year 2000.
