VANITY FAIR COVER STORY: The Y2K Nightmare - January 1999 "Will the millennium arrive in darkness and chaos as billions of lines of computer code containing two-digit year dates shut down the Pentagon, and the White House? The nightmare scenarios are only too possible, Robert Sam Anson discovers as he traces the birth of the Y2K "bug," the folly, greed, and denial that have muffled two decades of warnings from technology experts, and the ominous results of Y2K tests that lay bare the dimensions of a ticking global time bomb." "If we don't fix the problems," sas I.R.S. commissioner Charles Rossotti, "we will have a situation scarier than the average disaster movie you might see on Sunday night." remarq.com DYNAMITE ARTICLE!! - 14 pages printed out Friends & family members, who previously discounted Y2K, are now "believers" after having read this article. Whenever I download magazine articles, I generally try to xerox the cover of the appropriate magazine issue and attach it to the front of the article before I distribute copies. LOL - Vanity Fair cover caught their attention ... a nude blonde partially covered with a white mink! To the left of the visual: "NIGHTMARE ON MAIN STREET - THE APPROACHING Y2K DISASTER". Cheryl
