Fireworks for bug victims
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.BLUE CHIP victims of the millennium bug are to be posted on the Internet against a backdrop of a live broadcast of fireworks over the Millennium Dome.
Guardian iT, which specialises in the emergency rescue of crashed IT systems, is to broadcast the millennium celebrations on its website, filmed from a camera perched on the roof of its office overlooking the Dome. The website will simultaneously provide news of emergency calls the company has received from its clients. The clients include a third of the FTSE 100 and many of the City's leading investment banks. While the site will not name any names, it will reveal the sectors of the companies which invoke its services on the morning of the new millennium.
The service will be available on www.guardianit.com.
