Trust me. The year 2000 problem is only a problem in the sense that big companies have to spend
money to fix it in their software. The actual ramifications of it on the average American
citizen will be almost nil. I never cease to be amused, though, by the continual panicked reports
about what will supposedly happen. I'm amazed at how exaggerated some of them are.
Several made my Computer Stupidities page. There's a really good one under "Paranoia," where
a television station broadcast a report about cars and alarm clocks ceasing to function....
