Y2K

many efforts have been taken in america to correct the y2k problem.
yet who is investigating that other countries are not making sure to correct these computer glitches in their systems? do they even know? are they even aware? do they care?
what about countries who have nueclear weapons aimed at the US yet lack the resources, or even gave the thought to correct the dates in thier computers?

what is going to happen 12 a.m. jan 1, of the year 2000?

McSpotlight: Truth is, no-one in the I.T. industry is totally sure about what's going to happen. We *think* we've plugged most of the gaps, but there's only one way to find out. North America's military arsenal is in fact as uncertain as Russia, but the two countries have signed an accord saying that any nuclear launch on Jan the 1st will be purely accidental and not an act of war; which would be a great relief to the people who get nuked by accident.

It could be nothing abnormal; it could be the end of civilisation as we know it; no one is 100% certain...
