Dear Mr. Wexler,

<<1) An astonishingly large percentage of software and hardware gets
shipped and put into service with bugs - lots of bugs (that's why vendors
have technical support and upgrade policies). If the "cascading failure"
scenario is true for the so-called "y2k bug" then why hasn't this been the
case for other sorts of bugs. Companies and individuals have to contend
with shoddy software all the time, yet the power plants and military
facilities seem to work OK most of the time.>>

Yes, programs get shipped with bugs all the time...

But the Y2K "bug" is different because many, many
programs may fail AT THE SAME TIME. This is an event
that to my knowledge has not yet happened in history...

Does it put the issue in a perspective that is easier
to comprehend ?

:^)

/Piotr
