>>How do you feel now? Is there a storm coming? Or are you reassured?<>< Yesterday I read an article about a trend emerging from Y2K surveys that shows people becoming less worried over time, just as you mentioned was occurring with your friends. >>A new USA TODAY/National Science Foundation poll found fewer and fewer Americans expect major problems due to Year 2000 computer glitches. Only 7% expect their personal lives to be disrupted in a major way, while 40% expect no problems at all. Last December, 14% expected major problems, and 30% expected no problems at all.<>< usatoday.com Since I am of the view that the single greatest risk we face is overreaction/panic, I find the change of attitude very good news indeed. Of course, public opinion can change on a dime, still, for now I am reassured. I understand, though, that others who see the risks differently will find this trend discouraging. Karen >
