<<"Did you catch "60 MINUTES" this past weekend">> No! And if it had started while watching TV I would have changed the channel. I work with this stuff 50++ hours a week and try to forget about it on the weekends.. <<"Guess I just see this as a more serious than you do.">> Possibly you do as I work with it every day. Chips are the biggest problem.. HVACs etc. Most everything has a workaround to function at least in reduced capacity but all known will be or have been replaced in most organizations/companies. Finding controls such as Johnson DSC 8500s (these will not work and must be replaced--- avg cost $1450 parts & labor) are easy to spot-- you just have to know what you are looking for. Nearly everyone who has this type of equipment is aware of what they need to do. Many agencies have different F/Y dates beginning in Sept. Try a subscription to Federal Computer Week. It talks of the problem areas and what is still to be done. There will be problems. The world will not end! We will survive. Be ready but no one can prepare for all that is predicted and nearly all will be a waste of time and resouces but prepareation is needed for a short period. Those preparing for the worst for months would be better off with plan B --- like a relative in another area for a SHORT period.
