of course you all realize that we are poor deluded fools, and if you read the serious reports on the survival newsgroups and forums you will realize that only stocking up on pinto beans, ammunition and two liter bottles of water (Why 2 liter? I don't know, but they insist on 2 liter bottles) will prevent the collapse of the world as we know it into utter chaos on the stroke of midnight as the date changes to 1/1/2000.of course, according to the television movie broadcast a few days ago, if you purchase something from a time zone EARLIER then your own, they will fail based on the time zone of purchase. This is even though the particular equiptment has NOTHING to do with the y2k bug.
Seen the ads for the y2k compliant toasters?
