I would wait until the Piltco Fastener Company comes out with their Y2K
report.
I read this news article on the Internet about this guy in a Delaware law
firm using some third-rate imports. It seems he didn't have a problem until
March 32, 1999 -- then all the paper clips began to show erratic behavior
like sliding to the bottom of the page or spontaneously straightening out.
Now, Piltco's reps are saying that their paper clips won't have these
problems, but they've been very sketchy on how they've actually solved
them...

Don't ever go with the conversion kit from the paper clip manufacturer. I
find that the best ones can be found at Sears, in the Craftman section.
They have a great variety, ranging from "ball ping" converters to "sledge"
converters.
