> So tell me what all the fuss is about with this Y2K thing
It's a great chance to spread FUD, and to have Y2K consultants cash
in big-time on the resulting panic. It's also an excellent way to
divert attention from far worse bugs which affect everyone *now*.
And it's a great chance to sell gullible users "upgrades" which
fix problems that shouldn't exist in the first place.
Is some of it real? Sure. There's firmware with the year stored
in two digits, there's moldly old Cobol programs (that should have
been replaced LONG ago) with the same problem, and so on. But it's
not nearly the front-page-grabbing catastrophe as the trade
rags would tell you.
