If the fuss currently being made about Dubbya's attempt to save energy by making the US go to Daylight Saving Time a fortnight early reminds me of anything, it's the hype we had to endure eight years ago about the Millennium Bug.

It's not saying how much this all costs, but the bill will easily run into tens of millions of dollars. |
