How do organizations truly know that they have no problem,or that whatever problems there may be will be *trivial* in nature?

Perhaps someone who is not a *y2k cultist*, but just concerned and prudent might reasonably ask, "How do you know you have no problems?" Talk about denial. "We have no problems because if we did, it would be something we do not wish to deal with at this time. We're just going to wait and see what happens." "The vendors who responded to our inquiry told us not to worry." etc.

Without a logical procedure of assessment and testing to ENSURE no one will be negatively impacted by an organization's potential problems, it seems to me that you are just whistling past the y2k graveyard.

I sincerely hope and want you to be right about y2k as a non-event. But I am not willing to put people at risk based on your insight, instincts, and attitude. Especially when there is so much eveidence to the contrary from such a broad range of sources.

Better to take reasonable and responsible steps ahead of time.
