Scarecrow -- score one for the lunatic fringe! They've apparently saved our bacon. Since they've taken Y2K concerns out to -- and over -- the edge, all the other stuff (like the findings of the Bennette/Dodd Senate Committee hearings,etc.) don't matter.

As long as loonies are running wth the idea, it can't hurt us! Cool.

Also, if you've seen the MSNBC article on the current status of European Y2K concerns, you'll see that they only expect 1 in 6 companies to have difficulties. That's over 83% of companies which won't.

Now then, if any of the healthy majority depend on the 16% of the rotten apples ....... oh yeah, I almost forgot -- see above, the loonies have taken Y2K concerns over the edge so we don't need to worry about it.

No...just a commentary on the psychology of the illiterates who believe in this nonsense.

As far as the scientific facts are concerened, it is abundantly clear that hardware and software technology keeps marching forward at dizzying speed and the Y2K crisis is a complete hoax. That is exactly why the Y2K scam stocks are all trading in the gutter.
