Y2K Breakdowns in 1998?

Tuesday, August 4, 1998 by Dave Winer.

Thinking about the Y2K meltdown...

Surely computer systems are already doing calculations that involve dates in the next century.

If it's going to be such a huge problem, why aren't we hearing about more Y2K-related breakdowns?

I asked this question on the Scripting News home page this morning and got back a handful of responses saying that the credit card companies have had some problems, but no confirmation yet.

I find this puzzling!
