Fear Mongering Monday!

The old MacOSes are good until 2038 (don't ask, it's a byte-size issue) and everything since OS 9 is gold until something like 5000 or something ridiculous. See, Apple hires competent programmers.

Us Mac people don't get to enjoy the virus/spyware tomfoolery either.

Also: you did the apocalypse right, man!

(I was 16 in 2000) OMGLOL!

I went downtown to see the big super fireworks display.

No, that's just because the people who make MacOS aren't idiots.

That said, you'll find schools and businesses still using Macs from the early 90s for minor tasks like file and print serving and things like that. Why? Because they're so well built. Throw Linux or Unix on them and they'll never go down. I'll pay $200 more for a comparable system that lasts me more than 2 retarded years, thank you.

Back on topic: I have a feeling that people are going to purporsely ignore this crap. DST is outdated and outmoded. People are tired of it. Is this the most important issue the government can come up with?

Then again, this is the country that still uses the imperial measurement system. Dear God. INCHES?! FEET?! Jesus!

So what did everyone here do on Y2K eve? I watched the news, laughing, because I knew Y2K was a crock of crap.

About 10 of us went to Vail to eat too many pot brownies and wake up the entire hotel.  I also remember beating absolutely EVERYBODY at air hockey.
I rule!
