Listening Carefully to CNN---Reporter in New Zeland hospital..

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

CNN reporter in Hospital reporting on the first Births in N.Z. of the new year was just ask by the Anchor if the reporter had seen any Y2K glitches.

His response was well other than the fire trucks rolling thru the City, everything else seemed fine.

As this may be nothing, I was fully prepared to hear---"no problems"

I'm sure the fire trucks are just testing their equipment!!!

Sit tight 'til we get past GMT...7pm EST Last minute brain-cramp produced this thought: Most chips are produced in Tiwan.(sp?) Might they be set to roll at their local time? What time IS that?

Chips produced in Taiwan...rollover

We really don't know where chips were produced or whether they were set to local use time or local production time or Greenwich Mean Time.

Isn't uncertainty fun? ;-)
