zdnet.com Takes a lickin' SNIP: >Look-aheads into 2000, which began on January 1, 2000, have worked within the ability of organizations to deal with errors. Air reservations and travel safety systems have survived real-world post-2000 testing. Thousands of government agencies are operating in Fiscal 2000, calculating benefits and so forth well into the 21st century. Fabled errors related to Global Positioning Systems and the Nines Problem have failed to materialize. Errors that do occur are dealt with, and organizations haven't had to use extreme contingency measures. In other words, as of now you can breathe easy, unless you've ignored your responsibility to check your own company's systems—and there are plenty of folks who have. Yet they will not have to deal with power outages, poisoned drinking water, failed banking systems, or any of the carnival of terrors traipsed across the pages of Web sites, magazines, newspapers and on the television news. <
