And now, the man you've all been waiting to hear from, Dr. Joel Wallach.

Well, thank you, Bill.

It's a real pleasure to be up here in, uh, this crow's nest.

This is quite a place up here in the mountains, and, uh, I really appreciate, uh, the hospitality and allowing me to speak with you and, and to share information with your audience.

Uh, probably the thing that, um, uh, I'd like to talk about a little bit is, uh, self-help during the Y2K, um, potential problem.
