Cheeky,

I think you're going a bit far in calling Year 2000 issues a "scam".

You can call the hype and fear-mongering a scam or an over-reaction, but you can't credibly suggest that the entire issue is non-threatening to the economy.

Yardeni stills make the most credible argument when he compared the flow of information to the flow of oil. Without the free flow of both, the economy is adversely affected.

No one here can say with any certainty exactly what the actual impact will be, not you, nor any "doom and gloomer".

Your radical naysaying rhetoric is no more helpful to assessing the ACTUAL impact of Y2K on the world, that was Ken's fear-mongering predictions of Armageddon.

The reality of Y2K lies somewhere in the middle, and I think this thread is being followed by people like myself trying to get a sense of exactly where on that economic "bell curve" of disruption we're actually going to fall.

Regards,

Ron
