As for Y2K now that was over egged panic journalism at its finest! I.T companies made a fortune out of the computer illiterate....such is life and such is business.
Lettie again these were not my words,but a sample of the other side of the argument.......serves me right for Cutting and pasting!!
Bad etiquette eh what?

Have to disagree with you completely about Y2K. While the media certainly did have a field day with the subject, there were many, many computer systems that had to undergo major modifications for Y2K. As the business I work in is totally reliant upon one of the world's most sophisticated computing networks, I had more than a bit of exposure to the reality of Y2K. It is a credit to the firms responsible for these systems that Y2K came and went without serious disruption.
If you are sourcing something from a site, you might seriously consider providing the link.
