IMPORTANT: Anyone following the "Beach bug' (secondary clock) analysises and heated technical (they get extremely technical) discussions on various sites? The top experts disagree on this one; some say the problem is SO serious, it alone has the potential to bring down the infrastructure! If anyone is interested, I will post links.

Ken, the print media is beginning to report the upcoming Y2K crisis here in NYC and in the suburbs. A friend of my wife who works as a producer for one of the big media stations here in NYC has been told by management to not tell anyone about her preparations for Y2K. Management is concerned about her safety. Many people are secretely preparing. Their worried about safety and security. The Cat is beginning to come out of the bag. The days are dwindling. Trigger? People who have done nothing know deep down there could be a serious problem here. Just wait till they can't block it out anymore? The news and information is out there. I think it is a potentially very serious situation.
