I pondered Y2K preparation, disregarding for the moment the actual probability
of serious dislocations. I found that my needs have changed greatly in the
past 2 decades, to where my list of needs now reads:

0) air
1) water
2) shelter
3) food
4) information
...

With information up at big number 4, I realized that one of the first
things to go with serious Y2K problems would be the information
pipes. I never figured a way to safeguard those, so I did nothing. spike
