Tommaso,

Like you, I think the Y2K problem is overblown, in that most companies will have converted important programs before the year 2000 deadline.

However, from what I have seen, they may have to divert a major portion of their IT Dept's manpower to do so. The real economic effect may lie in the limitations that this places on new corporate productivity gains over the next couple of years.

John

PS - This has got to be one of the most stupid moves of any Asian country. What does one of the poorest countries in the world need these for?

>> I have made the mistake already of suggesting that there's nothing to Y2K and the vehemence of those who see in it an explanation of everything

I made the same mistake - it was just like saying something that is politically incorrect. The fact that I have been involved with the software industry for the past two decades made no difference - I was an infidel that just could not see the truth.
