This COMPUTER WEEKLY NEWS story (Sept 11) reports on New York State's rule: no new computers until the old ones are repaired. (See the Governor's executive order, which I posted on August 27 on this site.)
The article ends with a summary of Corporation 2000's summary of bad things that could happen in New York City in 2000. I regard the list as overly optimistic.
* * * * * * * *
Electricity: supply only 50% available 1-10 January
Hospitals: emergency-only for four weeks
Schools: closed for four weeks
Stock market and banks: closed for eight days
Telecoms: 50% availability 1-10 January
