I had a couple of people write me about lack of research, so I started going through my pages. If you want my meager internet findings so far...I am not sure how many of these links still work but I do have them all printed on paper.Y2K General Articles:

Whew. That's the first two sections. I have sixteen sections to go, but I and my fingers are pooped. The sections are:
Economics
1998 an 1999 problems
Hype
Bad Idea
Religion
Airplanes and Travel
Fuel
Critical Systems and Power
Telephones
Government
Banking
PCs and Personal Computing
Embedde Systems
Appliances
Food
Medical
Each has about the same number of articles as above. I'll post each section, as long as the board doesn't think I'm spamming uncontrollably.
If some of the links have changed/don't work/have typoes my apologies...I am typing all this by hand (I still have a devil of a time with 'millennium'). However, I do have all the refernces I cited on paper...and you can't change the web address of paper. :) So if a link has moved or disappeared, let me know and I can change the address, or cite the article (though I don't want to type the whole thing in, I will if I have to).
At least its a start.
