< The possibility is that nothing significant to our direct lives occurs and we'll all be breathing a huge sigh of relief... Again, so much of this outcome depends on how individuals react, not so much the technical glitches themselves.>

This statement puts you clearly in the Polyanna Self-Denial Camp. It takes courage and strength of character to prepare for Y2K and admit to the possibility that major disruptions will occur.
I find your view to have possible dangerous and deadly implications, especially if someone heeds your advice here.
Y2K is like Pascal's Wager. If you prepare and nothing happens, you still have your life to live. If you don't prepare adequately and major disruptions do occur, you suffer the risk of losing your life.
It pays to view the situation here, if I may give an analogy, as a glass which is half empty, not half full.
