(AP) WASHINGTON (AP) - A yearlong experiment with the nation's electric grid
could mess up traffic lights, security systems and some computers - and make
plug-in clocks and appliances like programmable coffeemakers run up to 20

All the traffic light controllers I've seen are microprocessor
controlled, and use a crystal for their reference. Does "Cars won't
start and elevators won't work. All power plants will shut down at
midnight because of Y2K" ring any bells?
