Chee kee Kid, <Don't you find it interesting how the Y too Kay paranoia grows in spite of good news?> You want some good news? Here's some good news: "We recently met with a group from an industry sector that proudly proclaimed they "would be" more than 90 percent ready by September 30." [whoops] "But when we asked about their current level of readiness, the group admitted that the industry sector was less than 20 percent ready." "Now, an optimist would say that most companies in this sector are more than 90 percent ready and simply have to finish the last 10 percent of work to assert they are ready. But a skeptic would say that there is no way you can go from less than 20 percent to more than 90 percent in a little over two months. We will be watching this and other sectors very closely to determine who was right—the optimists or the skeptics."
