In discussing phone access with a few programmers last night, one of them
pointed out that the real problem is not going to be the actual phone line.
Rather, the problem may be that everyone will give into the temptation
to pick up the phone to see if there is a dial tone at 12:01 am on January
1st, thereby overloading the circuits and knocking out the dial tones....

How did you know I love to cook breakfast? Michael makes waffles.
Take care,
