Is Y2K a calculated risk?

Many thanks, Ron, for a first class and informative post. Yes, you're right, it was (at least) 95,000. I must admit, when I think about Y2K too much I start thinking like a chicken with its head cut off. Some days I think its Doomsday, on others I think it is a latter day Nostrodamus prediction. Probably some isolated accidents will happen - some perhaps quite serious like an air crash - but probably everybody will wait for the shoe to drop and nothing will happen apart from a brown out in Bangkok. In the meantime humanity has spent a mint tuning up its computer systems helping the GNP. Let's hope it will all be a yawn like the upcoming Millenium celebrations - which I shall spend comfortably tucked up in bed.
