FWIW. The CEO of Lucent was discussing Y2K problems this AM on CNBC. He thinks that the US is in good shape, but there will be "pockets" , mostly in other countries, where there are problems.

<Y2K..on the front-burner..two years>Ron: 2-3 years to fix 3+ DECADES of computer foundation underpinning the entire western civilization? All vital facets of society? Everything! in the entire world? Scores of billions of chips/systems undercoating everything we depend on for our survival? Hundreds of millions/billions that CAN NOT be found, checked, replaced, or are too prohibitive in cost or time? Have you absolutely no connection with reality or grounded in simple math? Don't quote back stats on low %s of them that will be disruptive! If you read enough at all you will know very high %s of failures indicated by companies. For mental awareness raising, read/re-read Bald Eagles article from Schultz last nite and DISPUTE ANYTHING IN THAT ARTICLE WITH FACTS! Bet you will avoid that one, won't you? Waiting to see!
