Steven O, I agree with you wholeheartedly.This y2k is mostly a red herring to either get new systems sold or just plain to scare the not care and no know public into spending more money.I have no clue about y2k,but have a son who has been working with major computer co's here and in Europe for the last 15 years and has a degree in computing science and he tells me that the whole thing is overblown and that those outfits who have not switched by now deserve all the problems they are getting.He does not believe for a moment that the banking nor stock exchanges(his field) will have any problem at all.So why all this fuss?The water problem in my town will certainly not have any problem as I know that system very well.
Now to gold and the gold Euro.Having lived through ww2 in Europe I would think a united Europe would be great,but until ALL the nations of Europe decide to give up their selfishness, I still believe a still birth of Euroland is possible.for the last 20 years most countries in Europe have lived off Germany.I doubt the German people will go for that indefinitely.That leads me to gold.How many countries in Europe do you think have a stable currency?The ruble 10 years ago was stable and backed up by a stable government.Look at it now.Not possible here you say?
