<Can't find the article, but I am pretty sure it was from this guy.> 209.238.38.138 Hmmmm ... doesn't look like it. This is from that link you provided. <We are being inundated with happy-face, feel-good reports about how well Y2K remediation is going in governmental agencies and in the corporate world. And we still see the problem outright pooh-poohed. But Y2K in the news has offered some eye-opening information -- some behind-the-scenes glimpses -- that show how "journalism by press release" is probably not giving us an accurate picture of what's really going on. Let's look at a few instances ... I think that article is one of the most significant I've read all year. Why? Because it is one for the Skeptics and the Scoffers. Not only does it indicate how much more time-consuming and money-consuming the Y2K problem turned out to be for Northwest -- how much more, in a word, real. But there's something more specific, too, in that story that speaks directly to the concerns of a lot of Y2K Doubters: they don't understand how this or that device could possibly be affected by the date. You wouldn't have been happy with the rest of the article. Cheryl
