Thanks for that Yahoo article on early Y2K glitches. FACT: <In Singapore, computerized taxi meters went dead at noon Jan 1 for about 2 hours, according to the Sunday Times.> YAHOO NEWS - Associated Press URBAN LEGEND: <Computerized Taxi Fare meters will malfunction, giving New Years revellers free rides home.> Looks like one of the "urban legends" you posted previously, actually came true in Singapore New Years weekend! Though I doubt there were any free rides:-) Message 6914963 "Millennium Bug strikes Taxis in Singapore" boston.com Taxis in Sweden ran into problems too. Cheryl
