Points, not posts, but congrats.

Eddie, you post even less than me😳😎

i think I am somewhere around a 150/180 rank or so.

we need to post more to raise our community ranking.

I actually had no idea, I take none of this seriously. 

I just want the packers to win and maybe come back to the States and start fresh. I am getting tired of Europe.

But, I do like my 'joined date'.

This was the only place that I could find accurate and current news about what was going on.

and thanks, read that wrong.    Just couldn't believe I've been here since 2000.

It's because you were partying right up to 1999.

"Only" 16 years for me.

I remember I was still on dial-up and the ISP had a bunch of data nodes a quarter mile from Ground Zero that got taken out so all the customers were without internet for three days.

I just can't believe we all survived the Y2K bug.

Never

Forget

You must not have looked very hard. 

Always enjoyed me some Goldie!

I've got points from a lost account that's accruing interest someplace.

How do you know we did?  This whole thing could just be a bunch of bots rattling around in a server somewhere.  

I'm Steve Young. Don't know my post total.

Ugh, still learning to use the iPad, sorry

My first computer was a Tandy TL1000. It lived in our basement for many years as we upgraded every so many years.
When the rumors started flying of the impending doom and peril from Y2K, I had to fire it up and advance the date to 01-01-2000. Of course, it functioned normally, and I knew if technology that old wasn't going to be affected, neither would the power grid, airline functions, or the other hundreds of things that were (supposedly) going to freak out.

This a cleverly veiled post padding thread. 

I’m convinced of it.

The monthly post report is never coming back though. 

So let’s just move on.

Ah, if it were only that simple, grasshopper.  Was a Delivery Project Executive in IBM spearheading global Y2K "issue avoidance" efforts.  From a pure I/T support vantage, turning over every grain of sand would have been a fair scope definition.

and that’s to damn long.    

Just padding my statistics! 

Click bait thread titles are the best.     For your next thread try something like: 12 things, you won't believe #7.

Well, my mother is still wondering what happened with that whole KY2 thing.  

I would pass out from laughing every time she said it.

I'm sorry you're daunted by my erudition.

So to pad my stats I'll ask a question
