>>>Looks like the media turning a molehill into a mountain again.<<<

I suppose that could be the case, but I expect that this story and the one about cars being registered as horseless carriages are intended more as human interest stories than hard Y2K news. That's certainly the spirit in which I posted them. I find them quaint, even charming. It would be fun to get a notice like that. It might even end up a collector's item worth some real money. At the least, it would make a fine family story for the great, great, great grandkids.

It's hard to say if these little glitches are predictive of anything. It could be that they represent date usages too trivial for the Y2K remediators to have thought of or bothered with. Or they could represent the tip of a very nasty iceberg. For now, I'm treating them as simply amusing.
