*** New Zealand unveils Y2K cockroach

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) - Regarded worldwide as a dirty pest,
the cockroach has become the official "millennium bug" for New
Zealand, which will be among the first nations to experience the real
effects of Y2K. "Ken" the cockroach was unveiled Wednesday as the
spearhead for a government-funded campaign to infest New Zealand
households with a "be prepared" message. The Y2K, or millennium, bug
refers to fears that older computer programs that count years by the
last two digits may mistake 2000 for 1900, wreaking havoc on
everything from airlines to bank teller machines that run on
computers. See
