<You want a list of NON-Y-TOO-KAY bugs?> No. Instead, make us a list of all industries, federal agencies, foreign countries,military branches, nuke reactors, major airlines, legs of the Iron triangle, major banking centers, stock exchanges, (for starters) that YOU, repeat, YOU will asssure (not guarantee) us will be trouble-free all of next year,or at the minimum, will have no Y-to-Kaputyou disruptive bugs.

And, sign and date it, so we can all together check each one on your list in, say, 6 months! Your escape hatch, of course, is if/when the net/elecricity is down!

>>A year ago, the argument among doomers was that, by this time in
1999 there would be a shortage of supplies. No such shortages have
come to pass. The additional information that someone beginning
personal preparation today is, in fact, very valuable, because it offers
a firm basis for less drastic investments in supplies. The $2,000 to
$4,000 suggested for a family of four's preparedness, it turns out,
were far out of line with the nature of the threat. <<
