As in the "Economist"...It is just a matter of time:
....."Because the millennium-bug problem is so trivial, senior managers have found it hard to take seriously, and politicians have found it even harder. Only two heads of government have given speeches on the subject: Britain's Tony Blair (with a sure instinct for a gap in the world market for leadership), and, more recently, Bill Clinton. The Group of Eight top industrial countries and the European heads of government both stitched a few lines on the millennium bug into communiqu‚s earlier this year. But for most politicians, the issue is barely on the radar."

"That will change. Officials in the foreign ministries of the world's richest countries have begun to worry seriously about the way the millennium bug might affect weaponry and nuclear-power stations in the former Soviet countries and the developing world, where key countries seem to have done almost nothing to prepare. Even in the rich world, governments are torn between the need to create a sense of urgency and the fear of whipping up public hysteria."
