No... I'll take a look. I used to read the wst every morning but got tired of it. I have said all along that it was the internet that killed software, specifically enterprise software companies (psft etc.) and not y2k as management claimed. So I agree y2k is not an issue for most companies.

Thinking and doing are two different things... 1) Y2K (83% of CIOs think that it will not be an issue) biz.yahoo.com >>>Y2K Project Completion: The poll's findings include the good news that 1999 Y2K project completion is moving along well, with 72% reporting that are more than three-quarters complete. But, 92% of responding companies have NOT actually completed their Y2K work - and ONE in ten will NOT complete Y2K project work until well into the year 2,000. Furthermore, of those companies still working on completing their work, 33% are BEHIND their schedule. Observes Gary Beach, Publisher CIO magazine, ''Keep in mind these are huge firms with lots of time and resources to focus on Y2K, I am concerned that 92% have not completed their work seven months out from the hard-wall deadline. The question is in what direction are they trending -- more behind or catching up? If a significant number of major companies are lagging, what does that say for small business? Nowhere have I seen data, until this poll, that quantifies the percent of large firms who have confessed they will not make the turn of the century deadline!''<<<
