>>>who believes that $600 billion nonsense?<<< Acutally, quite a few people do. Me -- I admit I don't have a clue. That's why I have been asking you for your views. >>>can you come up with any plausible justification of this number?<<< It's based on the cost to fix each line of code in legacy systems times the number of lines of code worldwide, yadda, yadda. Again, I have no independent means to verify the information. That's why I come to these threads -- to listen to opposing viewpoints and, most importantly, to benefit from the opinions of others with technical expertise relating to the companies being discussed. One thing is clear -- there's going to be quite a bit of money spent on Y2K. Or do you disagree with that statement? And if not $600 billion, how much? Can you point me to an analysis that argues for a lesser figure?
