Perspective on the news: July 1, two weeks later: July 14, 1999 zdnet.com >>Among all the thousands of computer systems in 46 states that entered Fiscal 2000 on July 1, no major problems erupted. Checks have continued arrive in employees' mailboxes, benefits are being paid and official budgets are operating reliably. Of course, there were some problems, but they didn't exceed the threshold of state governments to deal with them. That's where the rubber meets the road - whether problems became evident to the citizens who rely on government systems. The question we have to ask then is, what do we have to worry about? It looks like information technology professionals in organizations that have been diligent about Y2K have successfully answered the challenge.
