'99 days to go -- for NYS, Canada, Japan, India
asked in the TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) Q&A Forum
The calendar count-down on my web site has reminded me that we now have 99 days to go before the
1 Apr 1999 FY rollover for NY State, Japan, Canada, and India. With that in mind, it's interesting to
take a look at the status of New York's "top 40" state computer systems, which are listed at
I recall reading somewhere that any new systems to be installed for the beginning of NY State's fiscal
year actually have to be available by Feb 28th, since the process of de-installing old systems and
installing new systems is a 30 day process. If that's true, then NY State has approx 69 days.
It kinda reminds me of the old college drinking song, "99 bottles of beer on the wall..."
