When you're young, you look at television and think, There's a
conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when
you get a little older, you realize that's not true. The networks
are in business to give people exactly what they want. That's a
far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can
shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks
are really in business to give people what they want. It's the
truth. - Steve Jobs, Wired, February 1996

@rsladeDon't cast yourselves off as Dinosaurs, the meteorite, may be waiting to hit the earth, but it may never happen to cause you to be wiped out. But perhaps it may cause the North-South Pole shift, as it is already wobbling, and no one really knows what affect it could have on earthly bound systems.

But of course, some of us are waiting for the Y2K thing to happen again on 1 January 2020, within programs such as Cobalt etc. The likelihood is probability is perhaps far more likely to occur?
