Join the 21st century! Ouch, am I really that old and set in my ways that I deserve such a jab from one of my children? If you're reading this, you're probably a regulatory geek, a Dangerous Goods nerd, and if I wrote it, then I guess I'm a geek and a nerd, too. But, there's an electronics chain in the USA that sends their 'Geek Squad' to set up your computers, routers, stereos and televisions for you if you're too 'last century' to do it yourself. So geeks fit quite well into the 21st century. Maybe, if I'm a regulatory geek, then my child is wrong, and I'm firmly in this millennium, not mired in the last. So, what is different about DG this century than last? Is it new dangerous goods? Well, our identification numbers are well past UN3000, having achieved at least UN3496 now. But that's not really new, we've been adding new chemicals and articles to our DG lists for decades.
