<whispers>Shhhhh, you're not supposed to tell that the people! If they
know, they'll get it fixed. But if we keep quiet about it, we'll have it
all come Jan 1 2000. That's when all these Zuikoholics will try to capture
the rampage with their OMs, but since the gear is not Y2k [1] compliant,
they'll throw away all the stuff when they discover they didn't catch an
photos. That's when we go digging in the trash!</whispers>
[1] leave it to the computerpeople to shorten "Year 2000" to "Y2k."
