William--FYI

This is a discussion of a very serious Y2K problem--It is not meant as a joke.

The cost of stamping out the so-called millennium
bug could reach $830 billion worldwide, according
to the Gartner Group, a Connecticut-based
computer consulting firm. In Canada, de Jager
predicts, the final tally could total $10 billion,
with time and labor accounting for most of the
money. Doomsayers predict companies will be so
burdened by the expense that their stock prices
will plummet and the world economy will be cast
into recession. John Westergard, a U.S. technology
commentator, takes the computer-chaos scenario
one fantastic step further: he insists that
Americans, desperate for renewed prosperity, will
elect software mogul Bill Gates as president.

Scary! Ben
