Well, I forwarded it to a few friends who really should know better, so if you call the feds, don't forget I confessed early. The news people would jump on a story like this sharks on chum. Look at how much is made of a streetflood during a Y2K test. Actual damage/bodily injury from computer failures would be the cause of a whole series of articles on "how safe is your workplace?" and "how much does your IT department REALLY know about Y2K?" Stranger things have happened. I have seen a few emails about all optical switchgear moving 100s of Gb/s around april 1st a few years back. Now I get product literature from vendors selling it.
