this is also the day dream cast comes out i am thinking of getting it oh how is work

> 9/9/99

> Considered by some to be a precursor to Y2K, to others a day of gaming bliss... but what is it to everyone else?

> As some of you may know, the date 9/9/99 can cause problems in computers and computer programs that are written in COBAL a pretty old computer language that isn't used anymore, many aren't worried about it, others think it will be the "beginning of the end" with the Y2K being the final fatal blow. I'm not worried about 9/9/99, and I'm really not worried about Y2K either. I'm sure that there might be some computer failure on Y2K, but I dont' see the end of society, and I don't see the End of the World either. It will come and go, with much fanfare, and maybe a few computer shutdowns, but it will not be the end of society.

> The other side of 9/9/99's coin is the greatest day in video gaming history. It is the day that Sega releases their Dreamcast system, a system that will have great effect on the other "next generation" systems that will come out. I am not buying one, but I am keeping my eyes on it. This day will also usher in my most awaited game.. Final Fantasy 8! This game is going to be the hottest game of the year, and I (as well as the other millions of die-hard FF fans are) am dying to get my hands on a copy.

> For me 9/9/99 will be the day that I start my new job! WOOHOO! What does 9/9/99 mean to everyone else?
