Spring Cleaning - Finale

Thinning the vaults worth of historic newspapers I've amassed over years... here's one I'm losing (& posting):
"Florida will be Florida" in our (U.S.) political maneuvers & mechanization. From Y2K, 2 dozen years ago. Ah, 'good old days'.

You're welcome. :))

I've been trying to de-clutter my office from shelves and boxes of now-ancient memorabilia.
"You know you're old when...." If you remember some of these magazines.... #vintage. And here we are.

Context, these were 'gold rush' days of online communities, pre FB... Internet 2.x ...

And this was not a bad prediction.. from the first June of the Millennium., and already things like #online #privacy were a big concern.

A good excuse to sneak back a Spinning Wheel song, because, y'know, what goes up, must come down,
A few other songs come to mind on that topic. I do have more images of #media of the #Y2K era in #tech.... (modems, anyone?)

So the next #y2k bug ;)
