I received this in my bloated in box and thought that I should share this with
the rest of you.

T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE Y2K
Twas the night before Y2K,
And all through the nation
We'd soon see the bug that
Caused such a sensation.
The chips were replaced
In computers with care,
In hopes that ol' Bugsy
Wouldn't stop there.
While some folks could think
They were snug in their beds
Others had visions
Of dread in their heads.
And Ma with her PC,
And I with my Mac
Had just logged on the Net
And kicked back with a snack.
When over the server,
There arose such a clatter
I called Mister Gates
To see what was the matter.
But he was away,
So I flew like a flash
Off to my bank
To withdraw all my cash.
Then word of the shortage,
Caused such a demand
That the money was gone,
And the streets were all jammed.
When what with my wandering eyes
Should I see on my screen
But Millennium Bugsy,
This must be a dream!.
The hack of all hackers,
Was looking so smug,
I knew that it must be
The Y2K bug!
His image downloaded,
In no time at all,
He whistled and shouted,
In a loud download drawl.
"Go Intel! Go Gateway!
Now HP! Big Blue!
Everything Compac,
And Pentium too!
All processors big,
All processors small,
Crash away! Crash away!
Crash away all!
