Mostly just a list of things that needed to be done. I censored a telephone number -- for who or what, I have no idea.
The UR at the bottom was for a game demo which for some reason I wanted to try out. It was supposed to be posted soon. I checked recently and it never materialized.
The URL at the top, though, for a list of predictions made in 1900 for the year 2000 is still functional, and the list is pretty interesting. Some of the predictions were duds: We still use the letter X, peas are not as large as beets, and motor traffic has not been banned from the streets of our major cities. Others, though, were spot-on. And at least one -- that the average American's life span would increase almost fifty percent to fifty years -- was far too modest.
