Sorry, but I really doubt that there is going to be a rush of paranoid
people to the bank in December 1999 (if the planet still exists then.)
(Defeatist?  No ...) with millions of people trying to withdraw billions
of dollars due to computer glitch fears.   It would only happen if some
(any big mouth) hack started a big inform-the-public plan.   The public
at large would be slow to consider such a thing feasible; like somone 
said, most people don't thing like hackers ... even most computer
operators don't thing like hackers.  Sure, maybe a few of us will get
up and withdraw our money, but personally, I have so precious little
they'll not even notice mine missing.
