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!
