SALEM, Ore. (AP) -- Food stamps and other benefits were delayed in processing for one day by the first major Y2K glitch found in a Oregon state government system , which is using a computer program so obsolete that only two remain in operation nationally.

What is it with Oregon? Althoug only 2% of the the 50 Excited States, Oregon produces 5% of the Y2K US news.
