December 31st 1999, more than a year of planning and fretting about the year 2000 date issue. The biggest party of all time is going on.... a new millennia. But of course, I'm working in I.T. A Novell Engineer, and my Director wants the entire staff onsite for the big moment. No party for I.T. staffs around the world. Nope, everyone at my organizatioin is in the data center, waiting, watching the monochrome monitors installed in the top of each server rack, hands ready to respond to the chaos about to ensue. 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 THE LIGHTS IN THE DATA CENTER GO OUT!! Then a small chuckle as the lights power back on and another associate declares with glee, "Just Kidding"
