hunch--I wonder if Douglas County and City of Omaha will be able to make their bond payments and IRS trust fund tax deposits (withholding) using beer barter. (I wonder when Moody's will begin caring about this situation.)

So much for a year for testing...so much for a three day bump in the road...Got contingency plans?

This is my favorite part:

>>>The accounting system used by Douglas County and the City of Omaha was expected
to be up and working today after crashing Sunday when new Y2K-compliant
applications were switched from the testing to the production mode.

Mike Carpenter, director of information services, said the problem was not
related to the Y2K conversion, but to the transfer of programs and data.
Carpenter had expected the computer system to be working by late Tuesday
afternoon, but it wasn't.


County Clerk Tom Cavanaugh and County Treasurer Julie Haney, both primary users
of the system for the county, described the problem as a crisis. They said
information services did not notify their offices of the problem.<<
