When the alarm sound at New Year Eve, we will find out how quick the reactive action takes place in Japan and the whole world. I do not think it will be so bad, if it is not related to safety issues, e.g. reactors, defense systems, etc. Economic might get hit everywhere, then, that will be a race of the speed of reactive action to bring it to normal, one way or the other.

Ron, you are correct, it was on national tv about 2 weeks ago... About Y2K I was eating lunch a couple of weeks ago (could have been last week though, have been really busy lately and can`t remember too well when it was on ) and the teevee was on when they had this quick report on the Y2K task force`s recommendations to individuals and companies. I don`t remember exactly all the points in it but it might have been something like 10 to 15 main items to remember to do at the end of the year. Obuchi and Sakaiya were in attendance. They advised to keep water and canned food supplies for 3 to 4 days, put new batteries in flashlights and radio and also (and that really blew my mind away) advised businesses to PRINT the information that was deemed essential to conduct their business (records etc)...!!! I don`t remember what the other ones were but I suppose they were also in the print media as well and could ask a friend to look back and see if they can find out what they were... Will only had three more things to this message: 1- no fear or worries about Y2K in any of the regular folks I have talked to (anecdotal you might say) 2- I live in Japan 3- I am still in my bear den, waiting patiently Best Regards Stephan
