Good point. I'm starting to arm myself now just in case the Canadians decide to try anything funny on New Years Eve... Seriously, it occurred to me this morning that if one assumes that many small outfits either fail to recognize or resolve Y2K issues, their fallback might be to hire temporary clerks to keep their books going until they sort out their software glitches. If that is the case, would think that a premium will be paid for emergency financial help, as demand for skilled temps will likely outstrip supply. While firms that address the computing side of the Y2K problem have seen a lot investment action, wonder how much attention has been paid to outfits that supply temporary accounting staff? If my computing projects had less than 100% probability for completion by a key Y2K date, I would take a look at the economics of establishing a contract to lock in skilled help in case I need it... Just a thought...
