not to buy generators because there weren't enough to go around for their
usual rural customers who buy them from time to time, anyway,

Watch for generators on Ebay popping up like mushrooms after a spring
rain.
Like many I spent last night watching our VMS and Unix systems pass to
2000 uneventfully. At the time there was a rumor flying about that there
was a Y2k problem detected at one of our (Wisconsin) nuclear plants which
was corrected before any problems resulted. I have not seen or read the
news yet today. Myth or fact? If myth, was there a similar myth flying
about in your locality?
