"Y2K - Is civilization coming to an end?"

ABSTRACT:"Many software and hardware systems suffer from the infamous year 2000 (Y2K) bug, which will cause computers to believe that we have gone back to the year 1900. As some respected computer professionals are warning that this could bring down technological society as we know it, is it time to start stockpiling food, or is it all a case of millenium fever? And what about our telescopes anyway?"
