Bill,

<He (Star) has full confidence in the FAA air traffic control system, but states that the Federal government is not going to make Y2K. Ha ha ha ha ha. Also wonder how RD subscriptions will be affected by failure of government entitlement programs :-)>

This is what I really got a kick out of, in the article:

<<When the date hits ... Starr says he's confident there'll be no doomsday effects because of year 2000 bugs. Unlike some other IS managers, he "absolutely" would trust airplane and air traffic control computers enough to fly on Dec. 31, 1999. "The ATMs will not start shooting out money, and the electricity will not stop," he scoffed. "That's nonsense."

But contrast Starr's view with that of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. KLM announced last month that it may ground its aircraft or refuse to fly certain routes if year 2000 problems pose a safety threat in aircraft or in flight-control systems.>>

Wonder if he has a flight booked around the 1st of YR2000? LOL
