	Ok, the topic maybe is a joking matter, but here is some food
for thought: One satellite goes out, most pagers affected. Police, fire,
medical staff are all helpless. Yahoo! does not get news. Pagers do not go
through. One satellite. Think about it. Just one satellite. Now think
about year 2000: how many satellites, devices, mainframes will be affected
simultaneously? Back to the caves boys and girls, back to the caves.
