>>>Does that make everyone who listened to and quoted these experts part of some big conspiracy to cause mass hysteria..<<<

NO, there are people that STILL think the embedded problem is the straw that will break the camels back.

Some think people like Peter de Jager (Y2K expert) are being paid to say Y2K won't be that bad.

I just don't buy into the doom and gloom.

Of course there will be problems. With the millions and millions of computers out there, how could there not be any problems from Y2K?

If Microsoft said Windows 2000 would NOT have any bugs, that would be ridiculous. There are bugs in software we use everyday. Products fail everyday. Just look at the number of dead products on any warranty depots shelf.

Products software, hardware, etc...fail every day, NOT because of Y2K.

Just watch, when the Y2K bugs start rolling in, the doomers are going to say, we told you so.


They will make a mountain out of a molehill.


In my opinion, Y2K is just a bump in the road of life. I am not taking any extra precautions for it. The only thing I am doing is looking for buying opportunities in the market. If it tanks from Y2K panic, I will be buying.

Maybe next year I may buy a used (never used) Generator, why? Because the papers will be full of generators for sale that have never been used. And I don't believe I will be paying much either.
