Hi Amy, Re: ""To maintain a state of readiness and further protect against potential Y2K-related service disruptions, AT&T is instituting a special "quiet period" from December 1, 1999 through January 15, 2000. During this period, no new software or hardware will be introduced into the network or support systems []. Provisioning and scheduled maintenance will also be limited." That is very interesting. I can tell you that AT&T has for years been one of the biggest buyers of mainframes and related products. Legacy HW and SW has been the most "sweated over" segment of all the IT products in this Y2K thing. But they said no new software or hardware , didn't they? Haven't personally seen any similar proclamations from anyone else. That of course doesn't mean there haven't been any. I got a kick out of one of the responses to the person that put this AT%T news on that other thread: News flash genius, every technology company has a quit period at that same time.* It's like, no matter what info you put up on these boards, someone will snap back at you as if you're trying to damage some stock's price!
