(...) Not to mention the execrable Buck Rogers TV series. At least STTNG took the bull by the horns in Season One by identifying the positronic brain as Asimov's vision. It's not as though they were trying to fool anyone. Dave! (26 years ago, 1-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.pun)

(...) As well as in a little story called bicentennial man which happens to predate STTNG by quite a while. Jasper "what do you mean, posting while drunk on too much bubbly is bad?" Janssen (26 years ago, 1-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun, lugnet.off-topic.pun)
 
  Happy rollover!
 
It's happened, the world hasn't fallen down. So I guess wishing y'all a happy and safe not-the-new-millennium is safe now. Happy not-the-new-millennium! Jasper (26 years ago, 1-Jan-00, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)

  Re: Good Luck everyone
 
(...) Yes! And thank you(us?) each and every one. However, I am in agreement with the quoted stat that says most of the Y2K problems will not occur tomorrow (today in some places, Happy all digits rolled year to our Kiwi and Strine friends) but (...)

  Re: Good Luck everyone
 
(...) I agree (and so far evidence does too). But in a lot of cases, it's not because the whole thing was a hoax, as some will now have you believe, but because a lot of people did a lot of work getting systems up to date. (26 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
 
  Re: Good Luck everyone
 
To All, (...) Well, I am here at AEI to finish backing up the network, shutting down the server and hardware, and pulling the plug on everything, just in case. I don't think anything is going to happen, but better to be safe than sorry. Scott S. (...) (26 years ago, 31-Dec-99, to lugnet.off-topic.fun)
