<<The more and more research I do on the Y2K subject the more convinced I become that Y2K is the biggest scam the world has ever seen.
I have never said critical systems didn't need to be fixed. But the misconceptions and all the hype is so sickening.>>
So, for the sake of discussion, Cheeky, and to take a little different tack on Y2k, let's forget about western world computer systems. My opinion is that *crock o' crap*, *biggest scam*, whatever, there are likely to be significant problems due to 1) the panic factor; whether or not all systems in N. America work just peachy, and 2) the negative economic effect on the global economy resulting from other areas of the world where being in the middle of a war, trying to find the days food, or attempting to keep the country from tipping over financially or civilly are higher priority than Y2k, regardless of whether or not resources to address the systems issues are even available.
Aside from systems, do you also see these problems as likely not to occur?
(Please note: no place did I refer to TEOTWAWKI, meltdown, etc., ad infiniridulounauseum. I did say "significant problems" and "effects".)
Regards. ...Tim
