There was a front page article December 18 in the Oregon Register by Joe Mosely. I understand it was about cascading effects of Y2K. Does anyone know if there is a URL? Thanks! I tried several searches without any success.

..."A picture is emerging of a failure scenario that is more than simple, localized outages," McConnell says. "What is likely is a growing slowdown in commerce as capacity is reduced by a confluence of degraded infrastructure performance and shaky consumer confidence."

It's called "entropy". Get used to it.
