Like so many others, my Countdown to the Millennium clock is now marking off the time since the Crash did not come.

- Bill Conley gives survival techniques for the y2k problem. His site shows how banks and businesses will be effected, among other things. Register your name in the Survival Ring, be updated with pertinent information, and establish your own site. Bill Conley writes to people who are computer literate, may have a family, and are concerned about y2k and how it will effect them. There are varying links, like y2k coin solicitation, and the dangers of being around water when y2k strikes. One link, by USA Today, contains interviews of airline representatives, spokes people, and travel agents.
