Problems on New Years Probably Not Y2K Related

from the so-don't-start-rioting dept

The White House has released a report telling people that probability says that something will go wrong on Y2K because something goes wrong all the time. People should be careful not to blame Y2K for any problems they come across. I can't wait until the amusing stories of folks who freak out after their ATM won't give them cash.

    I mean, who cares what they say. I'm not that uptight about Y2K, mind you, it's just that I can only trust the White House to say exactly what they want me to think...

    Okay, point taken. However, I'm much more concerned about the reaction of folks who find some tiny thing go wrong on New Years and absolutely freak out, and if this report does anything to lessen the effect of that... well, that's a good thing.
