Perth’s little slice of yesteryear has called a press conference today to announce that they have undertaken all necessary measures to prevent catastrophic events that may be caused by the Y2K bug.
A spokesperson for the suburb said that their top nerds have been working night & day upgrading their systems, adding,
“Yeah we are pretty proud of the team. To get this announcement out in September when most probably will be working right up until December 31st is fantastic. Between you and me I reckon the world will remember the name Morley when they talk about the leaders in the fight against Y2K”
To ensure all major Morley businesses were on the same page, a CD-ROM with a patch for Windows 95 was sent out. Although luckily, many businesses in Morley never switched from traditional methods to digital.
We spoke to a local business owner who didn’t even own a till let alone a computer told The Times,
“What’s a computer? See I told you I didn’t trust technology! Did you hear planes are going to fall out of the sky as soon as the clock ticks over to the year 2000? I don’t trust planes either”
No one at the press conference had the heart to tell Morley just how late they were to the party.
With one journalist even mentioning that a mere 24 years is practically being at the cutting edge for Morley. So a round of applause is in order.
