THen they went on to say that after conducting a survey in Sept and finding out that only 36% of the institutions under its supervision had started work on the bug, it contacted them and told them that basically their names would be published if they didn`t start remediation by the time they would be surveyed again in Nov. (concept of shame, and of course, most smaller institutions are private, for profit hospitals) . So, now, magically, 2292 (of how many the article didn`t say...) are now suppposedly ready,

Yeah right.... Y2K "ready" has such an ambiguous meaning, that it could signify simply that management is aware of the Y2K issue and is "ready" to handle any problems that might occur.

My sources who have worked directly with Japanese govt official SPECIFICALLY on Y2K related issues for the past 18 months indicate to me that they only started taking the issue seriously last March. And then they applied their typical obfuscation and notorious administrative lethargy that has left us doubting anything they say...

But thanks for the comments. It is interesting to see what the Japanese press is writing on the subject.

Btw, I can relate to the difference between writing and speaking a language. Speaking is truly an art-form that can only be taught through emersion of one's "ear". I can only imagine your difficulties in interpreting Konji to Western script.
