May I be the first to wish all a Happy New Year from 2001! Its half past midnight 01/01/01 here. No 2001 bugs to report No hang on, none of my drive doors will open and I get this message saying “Sorry Dave I don’t think I can do that” ---

Not quite 10 am on 12/31/00 here. I didn’t stock up for this year’s apocalypse. Am I doomed, or are things okay over there? ---

Am I doomed, or are things okay over there? \*\* Everythings just fine here. I just went to the fireworks on the beach, its warm (27c-81f) and sticky here (Palm Cove), classic tropical night, what a great start to the year. This thread could be fun if everyone joined in as New year moves around the globe. (that of course does not proclude joining in the celebrations early) So Happy New Year mates. 😃 ---
