Re: Perceived Y2K problems

I seem to recall data from california, where a good number of handsets get knocked off-hook during earthquakes. AFAIK no switch ever crashed as a result of the load.

But the phone system in Raleigh, North Carolina crashed for a day when Garth Brooks tickets went on sale by phone. No matter where you called, you got a busy signal IF you managed to get a dial-tone at all. AlanC -- The richer you are, the more you should shop at a 7-11. Your time is valuable. You pay a little extra at a 7-11 to save time. If your time is really valuable, you cannot afford to shop at Wal-Mart for standard items.
