We probably ought to start all over again. But that's just ol' cynical me. I do think that Y2K is going to cause problems, some major and many, many minor ones. That is, the reaction to Y2K fears may be worse than the actual computer problems. If you don't think so, watch what happens in Washington when there's the threat of snow in this town.
People jam the markets to buy white bread, milk and toilet paper.
Imagine what might happen if people decide to make a run on banks, a real possibility next year. The other scary part is that some folks in other countries are apparently not being diligent about fixing Y2K problems on time. We're a global community now, so financial systems going down overseas are going to affect us in perhaps severe ways. Bottom line is that we just don't know. Again, I don't think we're all going down the tubes next year, but we WILL have troubles, no doubt.
