RE: Y2K.. I hear you..but I still keep trying to assess the impact on our normal daily routine..my main concern is the payments system..as long as we can cash checks..get money from an ATM..trade our stocks..OK.. anything else that goes wrong falls in the category of a "minor" inconvenience.. like the satellite that wandered off course and disrupted the paging network for a few days.. but if we lose access to our $$$ however briefly...look-out..just MHO..but then how does one prepare without making this a self-fulfilling prophecy..if we all take out a little extra cash..because we are afraid of a run on the banking system..we'll cause the run on the banking system...kinda catcha-22.. And if the bleaker scenarios I've read come true..then the only relatively unscathed folks will be the 'survivalist' crowd and those already living 'off-grid' somewhere rural.. Jim in CT..too much to worry about.
