A few reports over on the Gold thread of Y2K madness. Most are induced though like someone knocking down a major power line from Orogon to California in an act of "sabotage".
There was also a report of Rebels bombing an oil pipeline in Bogota Columbia.
Here at home everything seemed OK but I did notice a minor glitch last night as I was working on my website. Normally when I make a change to a file and transfer it to my site and then do another one to the same file I get a message "are you sure you want to overwrite the file since the one you are sending is older than the existing one" (The server is set to GMT so it is always later than my Mountain time here) Last night it let me change my files as often as I wanted with no message since I guess 99 is bigger than 00. Everything worked OK so it didn't hurt, just a noticable glitch.
I also found these posted on the Gold Thread....
