Hi probity, on my way back from work tonight.On WBT radio in Charlotte the program was about Y2K. Some guy from army surplus store was the guest on the program saying he has not been able to keep ready made foods on the shelf of his store because of Y2K. The program director(Micheal Graham) was pretty ignorant about the whole thing and was making jokes of Y2K. He mentioned something about Monday's Washington Post write up on Y2K. I think Tom D. should give him a call.

I found some news regarding Microsoft Y2K bug and some more news:

by Neil Winton
"'Next year we will see periods of calm broken by occasional news
stories predicting computer systems failures,' said Dr Ross
Anderson of Cambridge University's Computer Security Research
Centre. 'My own feeling is that around August or September panic
will start, with hoarding of food and bank notes. Then the whole
thing becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.'"
