From yesterday:

POWERSPIKE IN CONNECTICT ANGERS RESIDENTS.

"Local community in Old Saybrook, CT suffered a major power spike Monday morning. TV's, computers, boilers, telephones... were blown out in numerous homes. The residents want to know - WHO'S GONNA PAY???!!!"

My Reply:

I now declare games of post Y2K era officially open. Gentleman take your positions. Coming in from your left expert programmer witnesses at the insurance companies and coming in from your right the expert programmers at the y2k compliant corporations, and in the middle, everybody else.

On your marks, get set, go...

And as was replied by Total Doomer.

Great idea! Expert testimony, insider information, subpoenaed confidential NERC memos...better than the next round of Olympic games!

Folks this is where the action is going to be I believe. Comments?

Sounds like a show I can truly ride out.

Just a thought, since I,m in the middle.

Howdy, folks!

In an earlier post, I said something along the lines of Y2K hiding. That is, people are gonna line up and say,

"I'm not Y2K compliant! What'cha gonna do about it; sue? You can't! The Feds have got me covered! WooHoo! Gawd Bless America!"

I think we may start seeing A LOT more reports of Y2K bugs, regardless of wether or not they truly are Y2K related. People tend to be allergic to lawsuits; "Y2K Bug ate my company" may be the antihistamine of choice for many.

Peace, Y'all,

Don
