Art Bell had a guest on last night that talked about the y2k problem. One of his scenarios was this: Because the railroads according to him would not be y2k compliant, they would have to be halted to avoid a train wreck. And because many cities rely on coal(some 3 trainloads full a day for some cities) for their electricity many cities would be facing electricity outages.

The railroads not being y2k compliant I would see as a major problem.

Any comments?
