LETTER TO THE EDITOR


  Kathmandu Tuesday January 04, 2000 Paush  20th,  2056.


Unnecessary Worry

There was  so much of  the scare of  the millennium bug that  everyone   with a  computer  was very worried as to what would  happen. Many computers  were also  quite at a loss as what  to do if these computers   were bit by the  bug. But so far nothing  seems  serious and   the computers  are working as they should. This shows  that   unnecessary propaganda can be quite dangerous. I hope that  when warnings   are issued  all the facts  have to  be taken into consideration   and not create an uproar  which  might have no basis  at all. I think this will be a lesson to all who speak of doom to whatever they can think of. It   was just  terrible  for me as a newspaper  reader  and a TV viewer  to  get the three words Y2K hitting  my brain all the  time. I am now  relieved  as must all  the computer  users here in Nepal.
