Here's some real "poll data" (v. conjecture on your part as to what the high tech community believes.)

techweek.com

>>>A poll of top Y2K professionals just conducted by CIO magazine, in conjunction with Information Systems Audit and Control Association and Dr. Ed Yardeni's Y2K Center, showed that only 8 percent of the organizations surveyed (most with at least 1,000 employees) had completed their Y2K work and almost half were behind schedule.

"We're not doing as well as [White House Y2K czar John] Koskinen would like us to believe," says Soquel-based Y2K consultant William Ulrich. <<<

>>>(And it is data--in its most basic form that a widely read columnist "believes these things.")<<<

Beliefs=Data. Interesting concept! ROTFLMAO
