Y2K, a mechanism for a Millennium crash

FYI:

There exists some related threads on the subject of a Millennium crash.

Year 2000: Impact on Stock Market & Society
Subject 16203
It discusses how the century-end date problem could throw a wrench into the gears of the world-wide economy. Basicly, it's mis-management and neglect of automated systems which take huge amount of time to update.

Year 2000 (Y2K) Embedded Systems & Infrastructure Problem Subject 18990
This is a discussion on how non-DataCenter Y2K problems could cause problems. The most serious include infrastructure failures such as electrical power generation and distribution.

Since I am gradually picking up some puts (December 1998, December 1999 OEX LEAPS) thought I'd share this with the friendly bears on this thread.
