Ken, there seems to be an surging attitude of resignation that there will be some serious problems concerning Y2K; but, interestingly enough, there is also a growing attitude of let's talk as little about it as possible so we can forestall the fear and panic until the reality sets in. This is IMMORAL! A Rep from Zack's Analyst Watch ( on the Internet) called me up yesterday to renew my subscription and he just casually mentioned to me that he already had 3 months supply of canned food and water but he was not going to create any panic. Con Ed: We had a heat wave last July 4 Weekend where the temp hit 100-101 for a couple of days. Guess what: Con Ed's system went down in upper Manhatten and the South Bronx. The City of NY is now suing Con Ed for this. Con Ed has been offering $100 refunds to customers who will sign a statement not holding them liable. Our great Mayor is urging its residents to not sign the statement and let the City get more money from Con Ed. Imagine all the law suits from Y2K! I'm trying to be optimistic here by hoping for just law suits.
