...chairmen in all 99 counties, as opposed to just 36 in 1996. He is genuine, some fans rave. He is not a politician, say others. In Bettendorf, at the medieval Jumer's Castle Lodge, Forbes played King Arthur to 300 loyal knights, each of whom--while dining on free Swedish meatballs--was asked to deliver five friends or relatives to the caucuses. Forbes wowed them with bug-eyed passion, some pretty good one-liners and simplistic but perfectly aimed shots at lobbyists, bureaucrats and Monica's ex-beau.

More seriously, kidney dialysis machines manufactured by the Swedish company Gambros would not run a necessary cleaning cycle in the year 2000. These bugs are just small hints about what could have happened if the world did not jump on this problem. Computer experts predict more errors to arise as the month progresses, but thanks to early intervention most critical government systems and major companies will be running business as usual...
