Where in the world do you find this idiotic information you have been pasting on this board? The Y2K problem is simply, mediated hype. There will be no devastating effects, any one that has any computer savvy has to realize this... Sure there are going to be some shut downs, there are going to be places that will have to close because of computer failure, but most problems have already been resolved, and the ones that have not will be with in 1 week of the breakdown. Any one that knows anything about computer writing language will tell you this. To fix the Y2K problem the only thing that must be done is to change the date codes in the program from a 2 digit year to a 4 digit year, that is it, nothing else... I have heard of people that are buying canned goods, buying bottled water, taking their money out of banks, investing in precious metals, this is exactaly what the businesses want you to do, buy ,buy ,buy, it makes them profit. When y2k is here and people realize there are no major effects, there are going to be a vast amount of people that have lost a considerable amount of their life savings, simply because of the Y2K FARCE, that is created by the media. This event {Y2K} reminds me much of the "War Of the Worlds" scenario, it will have basically the same effect on the people that are less blessed with brains, and simple common sense...
If you want a hot tip on how to make a quick buck here it is, buy Silver or Gold, it will increase drastically in the coming months, but you better dump it right before the year 2000 or you will lose your arse!!!
