Bob Rutz and his wife are leaving Southern California. They're afraid that the Y2K computer crash on January 1 2000 will cause power outages and anarchy. The Rutzes are building a Christian community called Prayer Lake in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas, and hope to take 100 families with them.
'I look at it as Judgment Day,' said Rutz, 66, an engineer. 'Instead of putting up the barricades and piling up the bodies, we've got to minister to those hurting people down the road.'
To err is human, but to really mess up you need a computer, the saying goes. As the year 2000 approaches, that's what worries many people.
