Good question - 'General Motors Today, General Chaos Tomorrow ? asked in the TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) Q&A Forum -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Could it be that the present strike situation with General Motors offers and excellent preview of what may become the case with the Y2k situation. While the current gridlock of General Motors is not the result of a computer malfinction, it does seem to illustrate well the "ripple" effect so well discussed in the Yourdon's book. I find it interesting that no one in the media has made any such conection. Perhaps I am extrapolating too much, but I can see the same problem happening all throughout the economy as we approach the threshold of the Y2k disruptions. Am I crazy or is this a textbook case of the ripple effect ? ___ greenspun.com
