Once again - I want to caution, speaking as a software engineer on the inside of this who understands it better than most of the "experts" holding forth -

Do Y2K as a perception play. Though there will be some problems in government systems, I place no credence whatsoever in the idea that Y2K will cause a recession. Commercial systems will have few if any problems, hardly a blip compared to many things that have gone on.

One example from years back was the changeover to ISO standard data interchange between banks. This required total rewrite of much of the infrastructure. And nobody noticed. It was a more complex thing to do than Y2K.

Take care all. There is not much "there" there.
