>>'From what we can see, few manufacturing companies have recognised the scale of the
problem yet. Systems are not yet failing, because real-time systems tend to have a
lookahead of less than a month. So the failures will come late in 1999. Nonetheless, from
our work over the past six months in this area, we know that the likelihood of failure of
embedded systems is high. The companies we are working with are in the vanguard. The
big organisations might be able to sort themselves out by throwing money at the problem,
though resources will be very scarce. The small manufacturers are in trouble -- most of
them don't know they have a potential problem, and when they find out, they'll find it
very difficult to compete with the big boys for decent skilled staff. . . .'<<

From the sound of it, the handful of y2k companies may *not* have their hands full for a year or even a while yet?
