Cheryl,
I have NEVER said there was NO Y2K problem, EVER. Even in the early days or our debates, I NEVER there was NO problem. I use to be a Y2K doomsayer, I read Gary North's site and became very alarmed.
Y2K experts on the radio talk shows were telling us all the horrors that would happen, they said toasters, VCR's, etc could be affected. Even 3 months ago, Y2K experts on a radio talk show said your mutual funds will be gone on Jan.01/99...come to out seminar tonight.
When I did my own tests on business machines, home appliances, and found that items that were non-complaint still functioned, even though they displayed a wrong address, I started to look at these doomsayers with a suspicious eye.
That's when I evolved into a Y2K skeptic. (Dooms Day Skeptic)
I do respect Don Mills and David Eddy. I think some of you may misunderstand my posts. I am usually right to the point, long posts like this are not the norm for me.
I believe Mills is correct in his article, even though I don't have any experience in this field, he seems to be accurate in what he is saying.
BUT and I say BUT, YOU MISSED THE POINT. Did you see his table? His table showed that Y2K induced problems are a low risk.
Yes I read the article, but what Y2K doomsayers grab onto is there is a risk. What they don't understand is there are risks we face every day in life.
High risk = Bad
Low Risk = Good
No Risk = Does that exist?
In the article, He called them "spin doctors" well they exist on both sides of this issue. |
