Darleen and all, Don't know if this has been posted already, but it's one more indicator of the possible chaos to come. The physical hold of the yellow looks more sensible every day. What year was it Naustradamus(?) was talking about - was it 1999???

AUSTRALIAN Securities Commission chairman Alan Cameron yesterday raised his
concern that two of the nation's four big banks might not be adequately prepared to handle
the year 2000 "millennium bug" computer problem.

"I was a little concerned to observe in a recent survey of the world's top 1000 banks as to
their Y2K (year 2000) readiness, that two of Australia's four major banks did not respond
to this survey," he said.

From a posting on kitco.com

"...a spokesman for Ontario Hydro said they were 40% done for Y2K. They started 3
years ago. He also stated that if they didn't finish in time it would make the past winter's
ice storms look like a walk in the park."
