California Governor, Gray Davis, says state is 75% compliant. [Feb 15 '99] CALIFORNIA CALLED UNPREPARED FOR Y2K MESS [Feb 19 '99] *Audit contradicts governor over computer readiness* Contrary to Governor Gray Davis' assurances, more than two-thirds of California's most critical computer systems are not ready to handle the Year 2000 bug, state auditors said yesterday. In all, 11 of 14 state agencies, which operate 20 of the government's most important computer programs, have not finished testing their revamped systems. Half of those agencies have yet to assess the threat posed to some of their operations by time- sensitive microchips. Those ''embedded'' chips control heating units in state buildings, traffic lights, electric fences around prisons and the water-release doors of the giant California Aqueduct. sfgate.com What AMAZES me, is over 2 years ago, California was the most organized & prepared state of any state in the U.S. I was SO impressed with what they appeared to be doing ... 2+ yrs ago. Used to regularly check out their state site back then, and wondered when other states would catch up. Guess this explains why CA Governor's Office recently issued this Y2K Preparedeness booklet ... "Y2K - WHAT2DO" (California Governor's office of Emergency Services) oes.ca.gov. Need Adobe Reader - FREE download at link below. adobe.com Cheryl P.S. GREAT CALENDAR!!! Thanks for leading me to it. That's where some of the above came from. y2kdates.com
