Happy Gnu Year

["Bill O'Neill" <billo@erols.com>]

All the best, gang.  Been keepin' quiet but readin' on (alas, not a
New Year's resolution!)

The only oddity in the office this morning is the "music on hold" CD
player bought the laser farm this morning, but likely not due to Y2K,
just too overloaded on festive, holiday music 24/7. <g>

Scott's NERW was a great read, as always, but a reality check, at
that.  The local service dearth is a growing zone for 2000, for
certain.

I do recall strings here a couple of years ago where it was predicted
that the corporate sucking sound (in digital stereo, of course) could
give way to a backlash effect in some markets.  Could be a scenerio in
which some imbred signals are tossed forth like scrapple to the
greatful backbenchers, ever hopeful for that single chance to have a
go of it (until the cash runs out.)  Not looking that way?  Got
scrapple?
