NYBellBoy: The perception of the Y2K's "bigness" is very relative to the perceiver's position in life. If your ex-boss manages a small to medium sized computer installation that was founded in the late 80's or later, then his perspective would be vastly different than that of a person involved with tons of legacy code ... like perhaps any of the Fortune 100. Most of them have computer systems that run their daily businesses, and most of them are "bugged" by the Y2K problem. I visited many large sites that didn't know whether or not they had a problem, but were concerned enought that they hired independent consultants to come in and do research. Every single one of them had major problems. And, mind you, these were consultants not tied to any software or services vendor. My personal experience in the guts of many sites' application systems counters what your ex-boss has to say. Not that he's wrong from his perspective ... it's just that his field of vision may be smaller than what is necessary to cast judgement on the rest of the world. The Y2K is a big problem. A very big problem. Regards, TED
