Best 2020 for all!
The new year marks the 20th anniversary of the Y2K Millennium Bug! As the minutes counted down to midnight all the major computer-based centers had teams of IT waiting for the end of the world as we knew it. Feverishly for years millions of man-hours and dollars were poured into "immunizing" disaster. The clock struck midnight and, nothing! Those that made out with the cash for fixing what wasn't broken laughed at that minute. Somewhere in the dark, a dog howled.

All the best to you in 2020!
