'"Dutch primary schools on war against y2k bug"

Dutch primary schools on war against y2k bug.

In the Dutch newspaper 'NRC-Handelsblad'
I read a news story which I translated as
follows:

"
3000 guilders for millennium bug.

Rotterdam, October 12. On short notice each
primary school which owns computers gets
three thousand guilders from the Department of
Education in order to solve the millennium
problem in the class room. The schools can
use that money to inspect computers, administrative
systems, VCR's, and fax machines.
"It should be related in some sense to the
millennium problem", a spokesperson of the
Department says. The Department has started
a helpdesk for answering questions about the
millennium.
"
(One US $ buys now about 1.8 Guilders.)

These are smart people, aren't they?
