I had to stop reading when I made the mistake of reading the back cover. The whole coming of an economic crisis as wrought by the antichrist was just too much. Minus that comment, the book had been a rather quaint albeit paranoid look at the rolling over of the numbers in 2000. Not much happened. Yes, a few ATMs and credit card machines had trouble reading the cards that expired with dates as 2000 and higher and some mortgages caculated payments incorrectly but these problems were fixed.

No lights went out. There's no reason for them to have. The power grid predates computers by 60 or more years! The power grid is far more vulnerable to trees, weather and animals. Train switching systems may be automated but they don't care what date it is! I could go on but there's no point. ( )
