First Y2K Disaster!!!

Y2K Precautions Lose Street Vendor's Savings

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Fear of the Y2K bug also proved expensive for a Thai street food vendor, police said.

Kieuthong Attaparb was so concerned Y2K computer problems might swallow her savings that she withdrew 100,000 baht ($2,700) from a bank in Rayong, 210 km (130 miles) southeast of Bangkok, and kept it at home over the millennium weekend.

Sunday morning her house burned down and her savings went up in smoke.

Thai banks have so far reported no Y2K problems.
