About a quarter century ago, I used some mathematical models to forecast population composition in the year 2000. Now the day of reckoning has arrived. My Year 2000 Page includes an assessment of how far wrong my prediction was. It also includes material about a 1972 predecessor of Y2K problems, and some things about calendar systems.
On this Web Site I also offer a bit of my perverse sense of humor.
Finally, here are some suggestions in case you got to my Web Pages while looking for someone else with a similar name, or for information related to Irish (or for that matter Scottish) ethnicity.
