(http://www.wmub.org/forumcomment.html)

Friday, June 25: Y2K: What Can You Do to Prepare?

Darrel Gray will talk with guests and listeners about the Y2K computer bug.
Some say it's nothing more than exagerrated hype, and others say it heralds
the end of modern civilization as we know it.  These two drastically
divergent opinions will be addressed, but more importantly, we'll talk
about what *you* can do to prepare for the situation, whatever ends up
happening.

Guests: Craig Smith will join us by telephone from California.  Craig
launched Y2KNET in 1997 to raise public awareness of the looming Y2K
problem; and William Ray Turner, from the Butler County Emergency
Management Agency
