...when I said panic, I didn't mean about your short sales, I was talking, as you say, about bigger issues...

Maybe a few hundred UPSes might be a simpler way? If there are massive blackouts everywhere a few weeks' delay in the development of Win 2000 isn't going to mean much to Microsoft. (Heck, even if there aren't massive blackouts...) But I could have sworn you said MSFT was getting into the Y2K biz.

Have you read the Year 2000 section of Chevron's latest 10-Q?
Okay, so Chevron isn't claiming omniscience. Gee there's a shocker. And because they can't possibly catch everything there will be lingering glitches to fix after 1/1/2000. That hardly means they're likely to be calling up someone brand new to come in and diagnose their non-critical systems. |
