Fade To Black presents:

It seems nearly impossible to turn on the television or radio without hearing someone warn us of the impending doom of the "Y2K Crisis". And although most intelligent people might at best go so far as to buy a few extra canned goods, confirm their bank statements and avoid flying when the clocks roll over, there are a handful of people who are taking it this to the most illogical of extremes. 

Building bomb shelters and stocking up on electric generators, guns, ammo and trusted back issues of Soldier of Fortune Magazine are some of the ways these "Survivalists" are preparing for the impending doom of Y2K.

And just like telling a child that there is no Santa Claus, it is just as difficult for most people to break the news to these Y2K Henny Pennys that their "Red Dawn" fantasies are just that.

But the fault lies not only with the media and a group of paranoid gun- toting white trash. Most of us in one way or another have contributed to the Y2K mania which is sweeping the country. It's impossible to go to a corporate hardware or a software website without being hit with some sort of Y2K Policy. And it seems that every technology corporation is addressing this issue, through websites, public relations people and advertising.

We decided to jump onboard this "Millennium Bug" and join forces with the Survivalists. We've sent email  to makers of regular household products and in a roundabout fashion, asked them if their products were Y2K compliant.
