From the USA Today article you referenced:

"That's because "bad" data from a computer that hasn't been fixed can contaminate a system that has been upgraded. Of greatest concern are Asian banks, which are making little progress in addressing the problem. "

Cyberguard, Inc. (CYBG) claims to have a product called Millennium
Guard which protects from this sort of cross-contamination. Since it
was announced several weeks ago, I have seen absolutely no
discussion of its merits or potential except for one post of mine on
the CYBG thread.

CYBG's recent dramatic run-up from about $4.00 to over $14.00 a
share in a matter of weeks has been attributed to its e-trade and
firewall products. Not a word about the Y2K threat and the product
whose sales could eclipse the others, at least in the near term.

Sibe, at one time the $20 million dollar deal between ALYD as SIAC was the biggest dollar amount ever mentioned in a y2k contract. I haven't heard anything from that deal since.

Does anyone have any information concerning that relationship? Is there still hope from this that Alydaar will get into Uncle Sam's pocket?
