Hi SXB,

It is my opinion that the Y2K problem will be a pain in the @#%, not a catastrophy. Most of the money and problems will be govt. related, and they cannot get anything right anyway. There will be glitches, problems and money spent...no disaster (again, except in govt which is always a disaster).

Steve

Large consulting houses which have existing task order contracts that can quickly be put to work on the govt problems when the crisis is upon them will benefit most.
