The news organizations have a saying: If it bleeds it leads! I wonder if CNN would have a news special to report that the Y2K issue will NOT be a major problem. Ever notice that the news broadcasters seem to get more exited IF the hurricane is heading towards land and almost seem disappointed if it veers off to sea?

<<Good news has no place on these threads. Only doom and gloom sells here.>> Cheeky, I have enjoyed many of your posts as well as your sense of humor (likely because it matches mine! <ggg>) but it seems like you throw out that line I've copied above nearly every time someone disagrees with you. There's lots of good news posted on this and the other Y2K threads. Your perspective is as welcome, in my book, as anyone else's. But I think that should go around full circle. If you have good news about Y2K, please post it; the world needs more good news and it will be welcomed with open arms, at least by me. Regards. ...Tim
