edwarda only has to tell her occupation when ron answers questions about his job, and you yours. me? i'm safe. i'm retired. :) p.s. do you know the football foul call re: piling on after the hit? sound familiar? you do it alot when c.k. houston makes it clear she doesn't like someone. just thought i'd point out you just cost your 'side' 15 yards plus a down for that post.

You made these two statements-- >>>Enough of a sampling of industrial America and Europe has walked me through their Y2K preparedness and contingency mirroring backup that I am satisfied that there will be glitches...<<< and then: >>>Cheryl, I reentered this thread because CK called it to my attention--knowing that I have been talking to company CIOs about this issue since 1978. <<< So at approx. age 27 in 1978 you were talking to CIOs re: y2k? Yes. It was part of my job. What was your occupation at that age? What is your occupation now? None of your business. Have the representatives of "industrial America and Europe" that have walked you "through their Y2K preparedness and contingency mirroring backup" discussed the length/duration of those plans? Yes, as a matter of fact. Are you finding that those plans and the duration of implementation reflect any of the concerns raised by Marcaccio as expressed here? techstocks.com; A surprising number already do and/or recognize that they must address these issues ASAP.
