Slick, if you know the people who can upgrade an entire enterprises hardware and related software before 2000, I want them working for me. I'll pay them anything. The fact is, if an enterprise is only now starting to look at the Y2K problem today, they are too late. They will probably have to do some risk assesment first. Determine which systems get done first. There own I.S. staff will probably be able to handle only one major system at a time and give each system at least 1 1/2 years, more like two - five years depending on the size etc., etc., etc. Then pray that all the people within the supply chain have done their part. Forget about it, there is no silver bullet. Those that say there is don't no a thing about enterprise hardware and software. Don't ever trust their opinion again. As far as embedded systems, it's even worse. Take a look at this weekends Barron's feature article (at least on the online site.) The Y2K situation is a crisis as big as the Oil problem in the 70's. I believe at least 50 % of CIO and I.S. managers will be fired within the next two years as scapegoats for the gross and criminal under-estimation of the Y2K problem.
