[OPINION] Some of the things that are necessary in the coming months: - (further) mobilisation of technical people (IT, technicians etc.) - freeze of all work that does not help remediate Y2k problems. Using labour market mechanisms, this would imply a drastic increase in rates of people working on y2k... I still do not see this happening in a way that will really set free enough programmers/technicians. - setting up crash courses in 'simple' remediation work; test work (think of Cobol; desktop programs etc). This enables more experienced programmers to concentrate on the difficult programming work. - 'moral'-pressure from friends, acquantances, family, neighbours and so on ('what?' 'You are doing something with internet!?... but I thought we have a crisis at hand.... want to keep the lights burning.... why is it you are not working on the really important issues!? - putting Y2k squarely on the political agenda: freeze of all new regulations (that might involve additional programming); breaking down all possible tax/law and other inhibitors to solving the problems; contingency planning; stimulation of setting up town/village/county Y2k preparation citizen committees; etc etc. I can think of a lot of other initiatives. Just my 2 cents. John
