Government auditors: Too late to fix all year 2000 bugs

New York Times

WASHINGTON -- With only 652 days until the end of the century, it is
too late for federal agencies to fix all of the Year 2000 bugs in their
critical computer systems, and some government functions are likely to
be disrupted, high-ranking government auditors warned a House
hearing Wednesday.

It is time, federal officials urged, to set priorities for repairing the more
than 5,000 computer systems that are essential to the day-to-day
functions of government agencies -- which range from issuing tens of
millions of Medicare checks every month, to keeping airplanes safely
separated in flight every minute, to keeping track of when prisoners are
eligible for release. But no one addressed how to make those decisions.
