Hey Bill, this morning I got to work to find a sticker on my phone
     from the IS department at Consumers Gas here in Toronto, stating that
     my phone has been certified as Y2K audited. Now I can see this being
     relevant for the people here witht the LCD display on their phones
     that displays the time and date, but mine is little more than a
     handest and a box with buttons.

     Kind of reminds me of a few years ago, with all the food manufacturers
     using vegetable oils scrambling to inform the public that their
     product is now "cholesterol free!", when only products made with
     animal fats have cholesterol in the first place.

I mostly see the silly side of this: "is your router with no senses of date
to start with certified to be year-2000 compatible"?, I talked with a
financial planner the other day, and he had a significant worry that there
would be financial crises related to the "year 2000 problem". (~30%, I
think.)  I think "Crisis" in this context means anything that will spook the
stock market, as opposed to "real" crises...
