PLN, Indonesia's national electricity board, was recently asked by
an Indonesian newspaper about its Y2K preparedness. The reply is a gem:

Samoa, New Zealand and Australia and still have 6 hours to
make plans."

seven hours to make plans and several years to implement them), (*name
withheld*) was quick to point out that Western Samoa is on the other side of
the international dateline.
