Jim,>>>So you think the Y2K thingy is over after one day?<<<
The Y2k thing may not be over, but it has very little to do with INTC, MSFT, CSCO, LU, DELL, GTW, et al.
The problem exists in 600 billion lines of legacy computer code that run on IBM, Uniysis, NCR, Prime, Dec, Amdahl, Fujitsu and other mainframe hardware.
Banks are not going to close down because some PC has crashed. No airplanes are going to crash because some PC is not Y2k compliant.
In fact PCs crash all the time, regardless of Y2k compliance. I have never read where a PC was blamed for any catastrophes or deaths because it crashed.
It is all those mainframe computers that is supposed to have 20 million year mean time to failure rates, and triple redundancies, that will cause disasters (if there are to be any). No one expect PC's not to fail.
