Ok,so my only question is now that y2k has come and gone without a major glitch what are all those y2k experts going to do now?

also is it still a problem or is it all clear from here on out?

Please read one or two posts before asking the same question yet again. In brief, it's way too early to tell. We'll have useful reports by mid-month, and if bankruptcies are coming we'll see them by March or so.

The lights stayed on; the phones work. That's good, but it's just a small piece of the problem. Read Cory Hamasaki. The big problems are just now popping loose in Big Iron (mainframe) databases.

It's early. Watch and listen. Don't give away your preps.

Stephen, the fact that you ask that question indicates that you should spend some time reading what is being posted here. The answer will be obvious.

Most of the so called "experts" were self-proclaimed anyway. They will just go back to whatever jobs they were doing before.

monitor gas prices, monitor grocery prices, monitor unemployment rolls from now through March or April, then give a tally of the Y2K bug.
