Nick gave me a reminder last week of the hubbub about the Y2K bug and how it all turned out to be rubbish. In the computing context, he was right. Writing this Iraq essay, though, I realized that there was a Y2K bug, but it strangely didn't mess anything up right at midnight on Millenium Eve. No, instead it hit in a very specific time and place and machine: November, Florida, voting machines.
