<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ziggy9, post: 621228, member: 8360&quot;]So any time a concern is raised and &quot;nothing comes of it&quot; there was never a true concern in the first place?&nbsp; A case i have some knowledge about is the &quot;millenium bug hype&quot;. People raised major concerns about what the turn of the millenium would cause and in the end there were only minor glitches. No real threat, right?</p><p><br /></p><p>Not quite true. the result of the concerns raised&nbsp; were that companies like my brother&#039;s, and others, spent better than 2 years scurrying around reprograming the control systems&nbsp; of things like power plants, hospitals, municipalities and such. Many of these systems were taken offline and tested prior to reprogramming. If the modifications were not made some scary things would have happend.</p><p><br /></p><p>Because of the concerns raised, events were put into motion that prevented the problem from occurring, and the people that raised the concerns in the first place were ridiculed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Richard[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
