There you go Ken, off the deep end again.

Outta fun, should we help him become unclueless? Let's give him a high school intro brief about y2k problems:

1. when electricity goes down, nothing electrical works.
2. he thinks that employers will still be making payroll deductions without electricity- guess he thinks computers can work off of D batteries

3. when electricy is down, all the office lites, heat, etc., won't work, and people won't be coming to work, including the employers who he thinks will still come there and do this by hand and candlelite power wearing heavy coats and thermal underwear, as they will be so focused on helping out the IRS, you know, doing their duty at all costs
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Not WHEN, but IF!!!

Your statements 1 and 3 assume the worst case scenario of "electricy is down". Not only that, I am sure that you probably assume electricity is down over the entire SYSTEM since your domino theory cannot account for isolated failures.

I do not believe that electricity will be down everywhere all over the world on January 1, 2000.

If you don't believe that people won't come to work because the power is out, maybe you should do a couple thousand hours of research into how the Montreal region coped when they got hit with an ice storm early last year. The power was out for up to three weeks in parts of that region. (I know how you love doing research over the internet, you said so yourself)

What high school did you say you went to?
