Just a brief technical observation on this year 2000 issue. I am an administrator and have observed that the Y2K situation has proven to be a bonanza for the programming work force. Programmers are now being hired out of college for over double what they were paid a couple of years ago. We have a heck of a time keeping programmers because we lose them to consulting firms which pay far more than we can.

In my view, the Y2K issue is not one of having to overcome technical obstacles as much as it is an issue of having enough manpower to do the programming that is needed to convert systems to work around the year 2000.

Without commenting on any particular company, because I have not researched any, those entities which are in the business of hiring out programmers to work on a contract basis are in a good position to earn good money for the next 18-24 months in dealing with this issue. I personally think the opportunities are limited to these kind of entities. Just my opinion.
