Reminds me of the exams I studied hard for in college. After aceing (sp??) the test, my first reaction was always that I didn't need to study so hard for it. However, would it have been so easy had I not prepared? Would "The Event" have been so uneventful had the world not prepared so diligently for the past couple of years? Granted, stories of the complete breakdown of society always seemed far-fetched, but the hype behind Y2K may have forced businesses to thoroughly prepare for it and avert potential problems. My biggest problem with the whole New Year event is the sticker placed on a loaf of bread at my local supermarket labelling it "Y2K essential stock".

This isn't a spelling exam either. Get over yourself. How about I let you work for me checking my spelling, schmuckboy.
