'.... "Might I be wrong about all of this? Absolutely! Should you feel obliged to agree with my assessment? Absolutely not!! You're more than welcome to imagine whatever Y2K future makes sense to you. My only recommendation is that you do it now, and that you do it explicitly. You don't have to post your opinions on the Web, but you should be able to jot down some coherent notes that say, "Here's what I believe about Y2K, and here's why I believe it." If you honestly believe that Y2K isn't a problem, and if you can articulate your reasons in a way that makes sense to (and to your family members, too, hopefully!), then you can carry on with your current life-style, and ignore all of the rhetoric that you'll be seeing in the media for the remainder of 1999. But if your own assessment convinces you that Y2K could cause moderate or serious problems, now is the time to acknowledge it, so that you can begin making appropriate plans before it's too late." yourdon.com

Home Appliances and Y2K. Remember it was a doomsayer who brought that up. I have to keep saying it because of how ridiculous it sounded. I debunked it many times here. I do not own any Y2K stocks! I don't get hysterical when it comes to Y2K. Remember the Cadillac thingie..... Elevators, hummmm, we could do a search here and probably find some negative stuff on the elevators too........ In my opinion it is silly to dwell on only the negative effects of Y2K. Silly to read only negative posts. Silly to read only negative articles. I am the voice of reason!!
