Updates are not the same as new applications, though... tippet wrote: "I'll believe when I see it ... I think the reverse is true. Many simply updated old systems early because of Y2K and that there will be a fall-off is undeniable by the summer." The survey I referred-to asked about new projects though, no upgrades of existing systems. I agree that a lot of companies upgraded systems early because of Y2K. But they also put-off new applications and projects. Each is a perfectly logical response, and we should probably assume that most companies did the "right" thing - accelerate upgrades of existing systems while deferring installing new ones that perform new functions. Yes, the big question is the relative values of the early upgrades and the deferred projects.
