Jeff - So, as usual, like that "Inc" article pointed out, it will be the little guy that gets hit the hardest. Jury's out on this... the little guys could (at least in theory) actually have a realistic chance to move their trusty-rusty '84 xBase/QuickBasic customer file to something newer. Being small they could bite the bullet & just do it. The Fortune 1000 that's talking about solving Y2K by going to SAP or BAAN or PeopleSoft is cutting it mighty close, since conversions like that typically take 2+ years when everything goes right. A little guy could possibly do a conversion over a weekend or two. But the word has to get out to the little guys to get their butts in gear. - David
