Howard: Thanks for pointing out the Cringely piece. Interesting. It seems to me, though, that it is more about Cringely than it is about Y2K. Go figure. That Microsoft Y2K 'consumer website' that is supposed to come on-line in June...think it will actually make it clear that people are going to have to patch their Microsoft software to make it Y2K compliant? How about the fact that Microsoft is not committing that anything is final...so one guy I talked to suggested looking at your software in December. It seems so simple - and important - to me. News flash: we're all going to have to patch our Microsoft software. Win 95, Win 98, Explorer, NT..... Why isn't anyone saying this out loud? Christine

Don't know how much stock to put in the Drudge Report, but apparently 60 Minutes is running a Y2K story this Sunday about the state of readiness in our basic utilities. Could be interesting. drudgereport.com Y2chaos on CBS-TV this weekend! Despite the billions being spent to deal with the Y2K computer bug, many cities in America are uncertain they'll be able to continue to provide basic services like water and electricity on Jan. 1, 2000, reports 60 MINUTES in a new shock story being readied for Sunday
