Great, let's start
scaring them even more, to increase our collections. :-)
I'm not sure this is such a great idea. IMNSHO, the biggest Y2K problems
will not be caused by actual computer problems, but by people's fear of
computer problems. I'm expecting a run on the banks, and it appears that
I'm not just being paranoid; the Fed is expecting it as well and has printed
an extra $5e9 in cash to try to cope with it.
On the other hand, if you have some plan that involves benefitting from a
run on the banks, I'd be interested in hearing about it. :-)
