Last night only the people of Seattle knew it. Now the whole world knows it. All week long it was promoted to be the best fireworks ever seen at the Space Needle on New Year's Eve.
This is a story especially for all of our computer nerd friends out there.
Just when the stroke of midnight arrived, the theme song for Star Wars came on and........ NO FIREWORKS !!! Finally after about 5 minutes of music and no fireworks, one could hear boos in the background. In the meantime the thousands of people standing outside were still having a good time partying and even getting engaged so the news reporter stated.
Eventually the fireworks started up and sputtered out. It then started up again and lasted. Come to find out that in the land of Microsoft and Bill Gates, it was due to a computer glitch so they say. The computer reboot did not work so the technicians had to go back to the old way of doing these things of lighting up the fireworks. Space Needle officials say that a corrupted computer file caused the problems.
The public wrote into King 5 news and asked whether the computer was a Mac or PC. That cracked me up.
