Pondering the Imponderable -- 10:20 am CST, Update by A.T. Hun

I hope that all those people who were hording food and water, building bunkers, and arming themselves to the teeth feel like the idiots we all knew they were some time ago. Y2K cost them a small fortunte alright, and they have no one to blame but themselves.

Now the REAL fun is going to be seeing how many hard drives fail. Many corporations decided to shut down their networks and web servers fearing Y2K problems/attacks. The problem is that hard drives that have been run for so long don't always like coming back up after they are shut down. This News.Com article describes the problem. Ahh yes, more self-inflicted pain . . .
