Y2K-HORIZON ' ... looks forward into the future a full two years'

He pointed out that early on they determined that this system's "drop dead" date is 1/1/98, since it looks forward into the future a full two years. Also on the other side, they won't be fully out of the woods until 1/1/01 since the system also looks backwards a full year.

Svejk,

That's right, just what I was thinking! So we indeed might see failures beginning of 1998; just a couple of weeks from now! That might raise awareness a lot!

Regards,

John
