Wonder what's gonna be in these "Y2K Checklists" government's planning to distribute to kids? Maybe advice like, "Tell your parents to keep their money in the bank?" ....
======================================================
<<The President's Council on Year 2000 Conversion has teamed up with several newspaper associations to create the Y2K Youth Education Program.
The Newspaper Association of America and the National Newspaper Association have agreed to work with the President's Council to distribute the Y2K initiative
through Newspapers in Education (NIE).
In mid-September, newspapers will receive a Y2K teacher resource guide on CD-ROM, a student supplement, and other resource materials. Featured on the CD are articles, background information, Y2K checklists, and interactive activities. Newspapers will be able to reproduce the features and distribute them with the newspaper to schools.>>

Wonder if it's gonna be like this "Y2K for Kids", put out by FEMA:
"You can also help by preparing for some of the problems you might have. Imagine that you are going to be living in your home without electricity for a few days. Ask your parents to get the things you would need if a storm knocked out your electricity for a day - flashlights, batteries a battery powered radio, food, water, and maybe some board and card games. Even if the electricity does not go off, it is always useful to have such things around the house. If all of us work together, the Y2K computer problem can be fixed." fema.com
