The End Is Near The deadline for y2k projects is approaching faster than manufacturers think, Owen warned, and the only way to meet it is to get started now. "For many of our manufacturing clients, we're already in triage, where you aren't going to get everything addressed on time." Customers need to stay focused and be almost militaristic in prioritized implementation, he added. If that deadline is missed, facilities will run into problems that will require a long time to resolve. Joining the costs of litigation and the lost revenues will be a huge bill to pay for troubleshooting. Miklovic compared the situation with the old TV commercials for Fram oil filters: "'You can pay me now, or you can pay me later.' You can make intelligent decisions up front to replace, patch, or learn to live with them, or you can wait till later. If you wait, you'll also have to pay for the diagnosis and make those same decisions all over again."

You posted: A pea canning plant in Europe they lost 2 and a half months worth of product due to Y2K problem. Seems the peas they were canning have an expiration date of Jan. 2000. Their warehouse system is automated and every night it is programmed to collect the expired product and dispose of it. For 2 and a half months they were canning peas with a 00 expiration date during the day and their automated system was disposing of them every night. I'm sure this is only the beginning. ============================== Ha ha ha! I want to submit this post to the Laughter thread on SI. People in Europe are either dumb or they never look at the garbage can. For 2 1/2 month, this machine is disposing a lot of pea cans and nobody notices it!!! Where do the pea cans go? In the garbage bins or where? Do those garbage bins ever get filled up and people should notice it? May be Europe is so advanced that those canneries in Europe have powerful laser beam to zap those pea cans they want to dispose. Now I know why Josef aka Michal knows so many fairy tales (he is from somewhere in Europe).
