Y2K, I think everything will work out. I do not recommend anyone fill
baggies full of dried food, buy a gun, or build a house underground. I
think we will get though this ok.

While I fully agree with Nathan, having appropriate supplies around to be
able to survive a week or so without power or heat or water or being able
to buy food is probably a good thing.  Regardless if it is January 1, 2000
or not.

It is always a good-thing(tm) when living in earthquake country <grin>.
BTW, underground shelters are also viewed as ready-made coffins around
here. BTW, any SF Bay Area ISPs effected by that little shindig on the
Hayward fault last week?
