Sorry it's taken me so long to respond to this message... there are so many posts on this thread these days, I just can't keep up any more! Mike said: Mary, Won't the software problems in the databases and the programs in the old systems still be imbedded with new boxes? Of course they will, unless you reenter everything from scratch. No hardward, no reason, no money. No, this usually isn't the case. Most of the Y2K problem involves older code - most often cobol - on main frame computers. Most new systems and new boxes don't have the problem. The real nightmare for the new boxes is writing new programs for them to replace the old programs.
