>It is particularly hard to believe that the issue came out >of nowhere Yes, interestingly it has been around for 30 yrs as an issue for programmers...perhaps it is a perspective on our "news crisis" media that the issue has not received adequate attention. The truth is that come y2k (year 2000) and also beginning within six months the dissolution of finance systems proceeds...there is a psychohistorical law (respects to Isaac Asimov) that any sufficiently complicated system based on unnatural technology will eventually dissolve and such is the case here. The specifics are a simple but widely spread design flaw...'00' instead of '0000' ....interestingly the decades old rationale for doing dates such was to save money...ah karma...see the newsgroup <comp.software.year-2000> This coincides also with the Tibetan's prediction as to what would happen if *money* became equated with safety and security... Happy days, Patrick
