Sammy, most of the big data warehouses are on machines that can not be easily replaced. Ralston Purina has an IMS database ( a system that put the first Apollo on the moon) that they run billing of off-- were are talking old here; however it is still in use. I do not see y2k as a major problem for them. Though, I do not work with big iron computers (mostly client server). I can not imagine y2k as a big hurdle. On the other hand their are systems (jobs that run) programmers are themselves are scared of. Because no one knows what they do. I would think most of these have been decommissioned by now. There are the unknown systems and that is what y2k is all about - skeletons in closets. Lachesis
