zdnet.com Is Y2K the biggest problem ever? SNIP >>>>One of the most pernicious ideas about Y2K is that it is a large idea. Since it first hit the public consciousness in 1998, Y2K has been compared to the largest projects in history, Vietnam, World War II and so on.

Widespread computer failures would have already struck, based on the fact that more than 80 percent of such problems have happened. Yet, we see productivity in the economy growing at a rate of 4.2 percent overall in the third quarter of 1999.....A little perspective helps. <<<<
