Yes. After listening to endless lectures on 2000 vs. 2001 from parents, peers at University, and this particular mailing-list, all intent on leveraging technicalities so that they could feel superior to the general populace, it was very merciful to spend New Year's with mostly college students.

Woo-hoo! Way to go Jeremy! -- Signature withheld by request of author. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
