Matt Drudge says on his site that 60 Minutes will air its Y2K story this Sunday 11-29. He says (something like- I'm writing this off the top of my head) that experts will tell Steve Kroft that despite all the time & money poured into Y2K, there will still be serious problems. FYI to all.

Thanks, Drew! This is what CBS is reporting about the program today:

"It's been called the millennium computer glitch, when the computers on which so much of our lives now depend could malfunction simply because they will read the year 2000 as 1900. Despite knowing about this problem for years and billions being spent to fix it, experts tell Steve Kroft Y2K will probably cause some serious problems. Frank Devine is the producer."

Other than Scott Olmstead, do we know the id of any other 'expert' that's going to be on the show? Let's face it, this forum stays on top of this stuff and we go to all of these 'experts' sites. Nothing there about them being on this show. So who else will it be? An expert we've never heard of? Does anyone have any info on this?
