FEMA Web Site: Y2K Bug Still a Hazard

I was surprised to stumble across an old page on fema's servers which continues to warn kids about the fact that the Y2K bug may be worth worrying about.

Fortunately, scared kids can read a reassuring message from our current President, Bill Clinton, that things are going to be OK.

I feel better already...

More Ghosts of Y2K

New York Times Closes Real Estate Blog
Y2K hysteria continues to live on the Web. Check out this ancient site from Time.com, located at http://www.time.com/time/digital/y2k/.

Weirdly, the site asks for authentication before it lets the user in. Hmm - maybe that damned computer bug just went into hiding, and will soon spring forth from Time.com's servers, ending civilization as we know it.

Lots of good moldy stuff on this site, even a link to a book by Ed Yourdon (remember him), "Time Bomb 2000."
