My opinion, Canada is ahead in the Y2K front, from my research, and natural resources are a major export for us. I just can't see, with all the money at stake, companies would do or not do anything to jeopardizes that.

In my opinion, there will be problems in the Year 2000, but I believe the Y2K problem is being blown way out of proportion, besides, there are problems happening every day from computers that malfunction and software bugs. Part of life in the 20th and 21st century.

I just don't believe we are going to see the problems doomsayers predict.
