Technology Stocks : Y2K damage reports -- Ignore unavailable to you. Want to Upgrade?

Nonetheless ... when a quarter of the French national power grid is down ... this certainly interferes with last minute Y2K remediation.

If they haven't finished remediating by now and entered the testing phase, a couple of days of work ain't gonna save them...

But your point is well taken.

I still think that immediate effects from Y2K disruptions will be rather limited. It is the long-term effects that I think will cause economic disruptions. I worry more about corrupt data that fouls up the JIT inventory system, than something that shuts the computers down completely.

Regards,

Ron

regardless of what happens, it's obvious that the U.S. government -- in an attempt to prevent 'panic'(?) -- totally put the population to sleep. I doubt that even a tiny percent of people have prepared, as recommended, for a possible "three day storm."

I'm sure the consensus, before rollover, is that this whole thing is a laugher...

(I'm not in the consensus...)
