Britain's Railtrack reports its Web site was hacked and hoax warnings were posted on it. The lights stay on. Lights stay on. Japanese press reports that monitoring systems at two nuclear power plants malfunctioned shortly after zero hour, failing to send data to government offices, but manual testing showed no problems with plant operation.

In Washington, the Pentagon says all its systems have rolled over properly but admits a non-Y2K communications problem earlier in the day. The glitch, in the Middle East, was fixed. The virus-watching Computer Emergency Response Team reports that instead of a barrage of new Y2K viruses, only two new viruses have been detected and there's no evidence of an epidemic. Lights stay on. That's 21 hours and counting, and we still haven't seen the really bad news, the blindside shot, the Y2K catastrophe that will make us feel like the other shoe dropped.
