Hi Ron << Y'know John.... I was at that very same DCY2K Workgroup meeting and I didn't get the impression that Koskinen or the Federal Gov't had "given up" as Cory so negatively put it. >> Well that sounds reassuring! << I think Cory is filtering this event through his own doom & gloom bias. >> Might be the case. But I have read all his Weather Reports on Y2k and other posts on news://comp.software.year-2000 since summer last year. This guy has a profound knowledge on enterprise IT (in terms of years of experience; awareness and know-how of Y2k issues; network of friends/colleagues working on enterprise IT at the F500 co's etc etc). He is one of the few people 'in the trenches' who know what they are talking about. About a year ago he was was not in a doom/gloom mood at all. He was upbeat 'we have to fix the systems' we have to concentrate on mission critical systems etc'. During the last 12 months or so, he gradually changed his mind. All in all, knowing this guy through internet newsgroup postings for over a year now, it do not dismiss his remarks and opinions lightly. You are right: 'preparing for the worst; hoping for the best'. Regards, John
