<So if the power goes out in Jan 2000 it's going to be from Y too Kay?> Maybe yes. Maybe no. Who knows? Not you nor I. Nor NERC. Nor NRC. We won't know until January 1, will we? Since no one knows. I opt for preparation. I know you already have you situation taken care of. You posted on this thread, to that effect, a few months ago.) So, you don't have to worry about disruptions ... Y2K or otherwise. You're already OK. I worry about the others - who don't have what you already have in your pantry. And an alternative heat source. Cheryl

Bankers take positive stands for Y2K safety July 25, 1999 chicagotribune.com SNIP: >>Last week Ellen Seidman, head of the Office of Thrift Supervision, which regulates the nation's savings and loans, stressed the point again. She noted that ATMs shut down and short-term problems happen at financial institutions regularly, and that people should not consider any disruption a result of Y2K problems. "Things go wrong for reasons that have nothing to do with Y2K, and it's worth staying calm," Seidman said in an interview at the agency's Chicago office.<< - - - - - - - - - I'll repeat what she said again: "Things go wrong for reasons that have nothing to do with Y2K, and it's worth staying calm," "Things go wrong for reasons that have nothing to do with Y2K, and it's worth staying calm," "Things go wrong for reasons that have nothing to do with Y2K, and it's worth staying calm,"

FWIW. We had a power outage in New Orleans yesterday. Cause? Too hot and too many air conditioners running, but no area was out for more than twenty minutes at a time.

<So if the power goes out in Jan 2000 it's going to be from Y too Kay? I believe some doomers and media are going to have some people so paranoid, that if there is a power outage in Jan. 2000, they will think the power outage was from a Y too Kay glitch, when in fact it could be from anything from a winter storm, ice built up on insulators, or a car hitting a power poll, etc...etc...> When push comes to shove, does it really matter WHY the power's out? If the power's out. It's out. Who really cares why? <<<In my opinion, and this is my personal opinion, people won't have to use all that stuff they are buying.>>> Like food, water, soap, toilet paper? I certainly hope you're using some* of this stuff.* Cheap rotary or princess phones? Sure came in handy during that Toronto phone outage last week, huh? Generators during last year's ice storm? Lantern and/or candles, if power's out??? What exactly do you think people should not buy? Cheryl
