Jim,
Don't rely on this too much. My "insider" (old physics grad
school buddy) at my local power company is doing the Y2K compliance. He
informs me they are on the list even though they are now compliant.
This list is actually 2-4 months out of date by his estimate. Many
companies are coming compliant everyday, so I wouldn't worry unless you
live a place that is very cold during the winter. 8-)

NAVY Y2K REPORT PREDICTS 'LIKELY' UTILITY OUTAGES IN SEVERAL
CITIES
A recent updated Navy report predicts that electric utilities
serving nearly 60 of the approximately 400 Navy and Marine
facilities will probably suffer a power outage due to the year
2000 (Y2K) computer bug. The military report also expected power
failures in several cities, including Orlando and Ft. Lauderdale,
Fla.; as well as some midwinter natural gas failures in such
places as Fort Worth, Texas; Columbus, Ohio; and Albany, N.Y.
The Navy report is in sharp contrast to other predictions,
including conclusions from the White House. John
Koskinen--President Clinton's top Y2K advisor--said the Navy's
results were overly cautious and were based on the worst-case
scenario. (Washington Post 08/20/99)
