Re: elevators From you post 1796 - more misinformation; (Though I wouldn't want to have to walk up and down stairs in a 20-floor building, or breathe unrecirculated air, and so on. But, as you say, many of these systems will have workarounds. On the other hand, fixing tens of thousands of elevators and building air units will take time...expect a lot of buildings to be temporarily disabled for days or weeks after 1/1/2000. This alone could cause financial troubles in many urban centers.) Reality check: doverelevators.com There is no Y2K check that can be made for these elevators as there is no date function in their controls. See also us.schindler.com No Y2K issue with their elevators either
