How many are preparing? asked in the TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) Q&A Forum Reportedly, Ed made an estimate that by the end of 1998, as many as 2.5 million people would be making serious fallback plans. This estimate may have been based on the assumption that there would be repeated hammering by the media. Nobody figured on Ms. Lewinsky and the other 'major stories'. Well, it's 11/1998. Y2Kis still on the outer fringe of J.Q. Public's radar scope... if even there at all. My guess is that due to the low media coverage and other factors, that well under 2.5 million are currently taking action. Does anyone have any data indicating how many actually are making serious fallback plans? Asked by R. Michaels (sonofdust@net.com) on November 11, 1998. Answers The last number I recall seeing was 100,000 in the US with that figure doubling every 2 months. But I don't recall the source of this information - can somebody help me out? .... greenspun.com
