The Washington Post article at:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/WPcap/1999-01/21/048r-012199-idx.html

has an interesting bit about electric power in Holland:

"Western Europe. Most of its computer focus has been directed toward the euro monetary conversion, postponing work on Y2K remedies. There appears to be little cross-border cooperation and the Netherlands "has threatened to cut off its power grid from the rest of Europe in order to protect domestic power distribution from external problems," Gershwin said."

The entire article addresses potential overseas problems and is well worth reading. Thanks to Jacques Bernier for posting the link on the comp.serve forum.
