Yeah...I've been wondering the same thing myself. I assume the next category will be "those systems without which we can kiss our @sses goodbye."

>>>According to this report, only 7 of the 43 high impact programs are now Y2K compliant. This is NOT the 97 percent that the White House says are complete. This 97 percent is NOT reflected in the September 1999 Report Card. Nor does it agree with the 95% complete reported in the September 1999 scorecard.<<<

Now B.K., if you're going to apply this kind of rigorous analysis to the data David is going to start ranting about software measurement again when the real issues is these morons have not learned how to fabricate and execute a consistent lie. <ggg>

and:

>>>("It depends on how you define "is"").<<<

ROTFLMAO

Please excuse me (and you too David) for being flip. I am feeling evil today. I am disgusted that the report on state Medicaid systems had to be obtained under a FOIA request rather than published as a matter or course in a timely fashion.

>>>It is awful late to be asking these core questions. I guess only time will tell.<<<

Appently you're right in that "only time will tell" since we can't trust some agencies to provide "data that will tell."
