Theodore: In the same vein, some little while ago, the G-8 released a statement, duly reported on this thread, wherein the leaders warned of the possible opportunities for international crime afforded by the Y2K bug. Yet another loop in this seeming Gordian knot is get- ting a fair amount of play in the media these days. Among the ranks of those desperately recruited to recast the antique software codes into Y2K compliant form are calculated to be a fair number of dis- gruntled former employees of IBM and other seminal computer oriented firms. The fear is the havoc a concerted few of this latter group could wreak if they decided to build malicious programming code into the Y2K software patches. Those here with a keen know- ledge of computers and codes are especially invited to cast their opinions regarding this latest and avowedly unusual wrinkle in the Y2K debate.
