10th January 2000
Hi all,
Well we are only a week into the year, and already we may have a contender for quote of the year. Speaking about the Miami Dolphins irrelevant loss in Washington guard Kevin Gogan said, "You're dealing with professional athletes. (If) You play a game of pingpong with your wife, you still want to beat her." I pity his kids when they are old enough and good enough to beat him!!!
(Here's hoping for a Dolphins win tonight in Seattle!!!)
Although Y2K didn't hit too hard (at least not yet - depending on who you believe) Corporate America was ready and had defined a low cost alternative to software/hardware conversions that solves the Y2K (Year 2000) issue: Provide all staff with an "Etch-A-Sketch".
There were many sound reasons for doing this:
- No Y2K problems
- No technical glitches keeping work from being done.
- No more wasted time reading and writing emails.
- Low power consumption.
- Easily transportable
- Requires minimal training

CONGRATULATIONS TO the person who has put me on some prank "receive a free pair of tights" mailing list. I don't know who it is, but at least Lorraine is happy and is looking forward to getting a free pair of tights.
NO CONGRATULATIONS TO Victoria Beckham, who did husband David no favours at all by admitting that he likes to borrow her underwear. With a wife like that, who needs enemies?!
Have a good week!
Tony
