OT - >>Maybe Y2K is closer than we think.<<

Many months ago several posters on SI mentioned that their margin accounts were screwed up because of Schwab's failure to correctly handle covered call options written against Y2K LEAPS.

There are also many potential Y2K failures that could happen long after the millennium has passed. The idea that the all these problems hit exactly on New Year's Eve is a myth.
