First: Most of the financial institutions have been compliant for awhile, it seems that mature dates for debt instruments have gone beyond the year 2000 for some time, requiring adjustments to computing systems. LOL - Well there's a lot more involved than individual financial institutions being compliant. The situation with S.W.I.F.T. is particularly troublesome. Too bad there's been so many problems with the euro, huh? They had such good intentions ... but have had to keep on extending that deadline of theirs. Hmmm. Maybe your IBM friend can help them out. Subject 28560 Can you give me the name of some of those financial institutions which are already compliant? I'm looking for several "safe" places to park my money. Don't understand why it's so tough to locate these banks. You'd think they'd be taking out full page ads, wouldn't you. BTW: Did your friend have to cancel any of his millennium trip plans. I just heard last night from my cousin, who's also with IBM - that vacations/leaves have been cancelled November thru February. Cheryl

Ken, I've got a feeling there will be more problems from ouside our shores than from with-in.
