is this the same NERC that is recommending a supply of 100 tablets of potassium iodide per man woman and child as prudent provisioning in event of nuclear radiation in these united states? is this the same NERC that 3-Mile Island Citizen's Group has documented saying one thing and doing, or in most cases, NOT doing another? is this the same NERC that has no back-up diesel generators in the entire 40 plus nuclear powered utility reactor cooling pools? i thought so. how DO these NERC mouthpieces sleep at night?

>>AT&T, and Bell Atlantic Corporation today announced the successful completion <<< Remember this is all honor system stuff.... see below - plus remember Bellsouth few weeks ago reporting up to 50% lying by vendors. I understand some people thinking doomers only look at the bad but sadly the evidence for feeling things are going well is often bogus, taken out of context, mis-reported and certainly not gotten out to the public. We must ALL remember NOONE will know until March if we are safely thru so settle in for more waiting. Those who don't want to prepare for whatever reason is fine but my concern is for those wavering who simply don't realize this honor system of reliance is bogus. (Online News, 08/03/99 10:28 PM) More vendors reverse Y2K readiness status By Stacy Collett The number of software products reversing their Y2K-ready status is going up, not down, according to one year 2000 compliance-tracking firm. In July, vendors for half of the 125 software products evaluated made "negative" changes (58%) to their Y2K-ready status. That means the manufacturer has discontinued Y2K support or has released previously unknown Y2K issues. That's much higher than the 33% average for this year and was unexpected because more businesses are nearing the final stages of year 2000 remediation, said officials at Infoliant Corp., a Pittsburgh-based Y2K compliance-tracking firm. Products with Y2K status changes include Adobe Acrobat Distiller V.3, AutoDesk's Drafix and Planix product lines, Lotus Organizer and several Computer Associates VSE utilities, Infoliant said.
