New Zealand's radar system crashes, computer glitch blamed
Source: AP
Date: Dec 22, 1999
An unidentified computer glitch left air traffic controllers in the dark today over the whereabouts of scores of aircraft in the skies above New Zealand. Controllers spent more than three hours using a backup system to help guide the planes to their destinations. Authorities were investigating the system failure, but were not immediately blaming problems associated with the Y2K computer bug.

The company which controls New Zealand's air traffic control system, said airports' radars still were operating but were unable to communicate with each other. That meant there was no nationwide picture and controllers could not track aircraft outside of their own range. There were no immediate reports of any serious incidents as a result of the midday glitch, which grounded planes and stranded thousands of passengers across the country.

This is true but the average wage is 13.41 so does that put better than half the populous in great shape. Or are the figures related to those deft enough to play the market or be employed in tech. Our currency does not look strong be it y2k related and Asia appearing to have survived minus spending the billions we did.
Stole this from a friend on another board a shocker.

yahoo up another 5 billion or so today.
YHOO (the stock) is growing at a *faster* than exponential rate.
At its current pace YHOO will be the worlds largest corporation in roughly 60 trading days.
