There is perhaps more discussion going on than you are aware of. Check out
my friend Peter de Jager's Web page:

www.year2000.com

For the past few years, Peter has been working very hard to create
awareness of the Year 2000 Problem, and convince people to get started NOW
while they have a chance to do something effective. He is a professional
speaker who now speaks exclusively about this issue.

Awareness is starting to happen. I have seen interviews with Peter and
others on CNN and in Money magazine (or was it Fortune?). Peter's Web page
has many articles about various aspects of the problem, and links to lots
of people who provide products and services to help deal with the
ramifications.

As you say, however, there is a lot more awareness and motivation to be
done.

On October 30 at 8:00 p.m. EST, Peter is hosting an online conference via
Internet Chat. See the Web page for details.

> But could this date issue actually bring about chaos?

Yes! This is an ENORMOUS issue.
