Big companies are very busy and will make it; some of them may well be even better off that US / UK counterparts. Reason: public institutions have been only recently been privatised to some extend (e.g. German Telekom). So the IT landscape is less diverse.

(this is my interpretation; not on that site).

the usual suspects (SME, health care, manufacturing) are probably in worse shape than UK, US.

I succeeded in starting discussion threads on TWO German political parties website. Hope to keep them alive; it costs me A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT. But there are coming some responses other than the usual 'Y2k is not problem; stop the B*S - just like we used to have in the US almost 1 year ago).

It is like keeping a small woodfire burning.... I just keep on putting additional wood on it; hope the flames get bigger.
got a response on the Green site that they would forward some articles to the responsible MDB (member of parlament in Germany); so who knows ;-)
