what if y2k'ers put intentional bugs in software? i mean, what if they are contracted to fix y2k bugs, then intentionally put new bugs in the software, so that they can contract to later "find" and fix them? microsoft powerpoint is a prime example of later versions having bugs that were not found in earlier. seems like y2k'ers would benefit if some havoc were to occur on the appointed date. {8-[ spike
