<<geez, what a moron (not you-the author of article) Food does not depend on computers!? All supply lines do though. No fuel to run the tractors, no chemicals to spray (thank god for that one) no way to get it to the people, etc, etc........... >> Food production and delivery is a never-ending cycle of grow, harvest and distribution/transport. Date-related computer disruptions will not have a dramatic impact on food availability -- more likely it will force those in the "food biz" to do things differently in reaction to relatively minor disruptions. Like many Y2K disruptions, the secondary or "chain reaction" problems take time to manifest. Companies that suffer a Y2K problem won't, for the most part, immediately shut doors on Jan 1, 2000. Actually the company will do all that it can to overcome its problems, but competition that is Y2K ready will prevail.
