Thanks Les: >>>>By the way, The first country that could experience Y2K difficulties is New Zealand. It is 18 hours ahead of New York EST. When it is 6:01am in NY on Friday 12/31/99 it will be 00:01am on Saturday 1/1/00 in Wellington, NZ. So that Friday morning when bond people come to work they will already be able to get a sense of any Y2K glitches that are occurring overseas. Moving around the globe, these locations will hit 1/1/00 in the following chronological order: Wellington, Guam, Sydney, Tokyo, Singapore and Hong Kong, Beijing, Bangkok, New Delhi, Moscow and Baghdad and Nairobi, Cairo, Johannesburg, East Europe, Europe, London, Buenos Aires, NY, Chicago, LA, Alaska, Hawaii, Samoa. The last place to move into the new year will be Eniwetok, which is an atoll in the Marshall Islands. Interestingly, it was the site of some USA atomic bomb testings from 1948 to 1954. There will be major media coverage beginning at least by 5am EST.<<<< Plenty of time to duck.
