Y2K CHECKLIST
SIGNS THAT YOU ARE NOT Y2K READY: You've backed-up your desktop by pushing it against the wall. You've put foam around the computer to prevent it from crashing.
The soles of your shoes are worn out from re-booting the
computer.
You try to clear the screen by shaking the monitor up and down.
You're Amish.
SIGNS THAT YOUR COMPUTER ISN'T Y2K READY
It has trouble supporting the latest version of Tetris.
The spell check replaces the word "You" with "Thou."
It takes the same amount of time to re-boot as it does to bake
a potato.
The manual advises you to throw a towel over the monitor to use
as a screen saver.
It needs to be updated to binary code.
