FC: Gary North responds to my Y2K article

********

Actually I did not call for "repentance" -- I simply pointed out that some
of the doom-brood like North are *still* predicting panic and ruin.

Comment: I am certainly willing to say that my assessment of the threat, as
          things have played out, was incorrect. I did not think that
          fix-on-failure would work as well as a $500+ billion expenditure
          seems to have worked so far. I am indeed perplexed by the fact that
          those companies, nations, and local governments that spent almost
          nothing to fix y2k seem to be performing as well as, say, Microsoft.
