DepyDog,
I can't speak for Vendit but I personally feel that in the U.S. it will turn out to be the most overrated debacle, crisis, catastrophe, Armageddon of our time. That is not to say there will not be bothersome and irritating glitches of all types but nothing that warrants wholesale liquidation of stocks or putting off the birth of a child for Christ sake.
To me it is extremely logical. The problems, severity and frequency of such will be INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to how much money is at stake. What was the first major area in the U.S. that was pronounced as 100% compliant? You betcha - the U.S. stock markets! What was next? The Social Security System. So, you can see the pattern that I speak of, if Billions of dollars are involved, don't sweat it. You can bet, the phones will work, gas will work, cable will work. Now for Airplanes etc, I have a good idea, load all of the Chief Executive Officers of all the major airlines on a 757 and have them make a night landing in Tibet around 1:30 A.M. on the morning of Jan. 1, 2001. Something tells me there would not be a problem with the Airlines either.
