Unfortunately Y2K can cause problems deep down in hardware and
firmware...like disk controllers!
I know of at least one major harware supplier was surprised to find that
some of their brand new Pentium 2 systems were not Y2K compliant. Probably
due to a batch of components that they had bought in. Not all machines of
the same make and model are the same, so Y2K is going to cause a lot more
problems than most people can imagine.
I plan to spend the end of '99 and start of 2000 somewhere completely
unreliant on any sort of electronics and well away from any flightpaths.
