>>AT&T, and Bell Atlantic Corporation today announced the successful completion <<<
Remember this is all honor system stuff.... see below - plus remember Bellsouth few weeks ago reporting up to 50% lying by vendors.
I understand some people thinking doomers only look at the bad but sadly the evidence for feeling things are going well is often bogus, taken out of context, mis-reported and certainly not gotten out to the public. We must ALL remember NOONE will know until March if we are safely thru so settle in for more waiting. Those who don't want to prepare for whatever reason is fine but my concern is for those wavering who simply don't realize this honor system of reliance is bogus.

More vendors reverse Y2K
readiness status
By Stacy Collett
The number of software products reversing their
Y2K-ready status is going up, not down, according to
one year 2000 compliance-tracking firm.
In July, vendors for half of the 125 software products
evaluated made "negative" changes (58%) to their Y2K-ready status. That means the manufacturer has
discontinued Y2K support or has released previously
unknown Y2K issues.
That's much higher than the 33% average for this year
and was unexpected because more businesses are
nearing the final stages of year 2000 remediation,
said officials at Infoliant Corp., a Pittsburgh-based Y2K
compliance-tracking firm.
Products with Y2K status changes include Adobe
Acrobat Distiller V.3, AutoDesk's Drafix and Planix
product lines, Lotus Organizer and several Computer
Associates VSE utilities, Infoliant said.
