"Profiting from Y2 crazies "

Are there any companies that could profit from the y2k "panic"?

I'm not talking about the software remediation plays, but something like Coleman NYSE:CLN. However, Coleman's been having lots of other problems, the stock is majority owned by SOC and generally doesn't look like something I'd want to be stuck in if Y2k gear sales don't produce profits for them. How many of those nifty fluorescent lanterns can they sell? (I recently bought one because of all the ComEd power outages around here.)

The local Sears hardware store had a large display "Y2K Prepare" with lanterns and batteries and stuff on display.

What other possible plays are out there? Camping equipment? Generators? freeze dried food? Home Depot? Sears?
