David, according to the article, Adams "set up BankAmerica's first program to deal with the Year 2000 problem and served as the firm's first Y2K project coordinator." So presumably he knows something about their systems. I guess it depends on how you define "essentially" as in "essentially one system". I don't know anymore about them than what was in the article. IMHO if their systems all talk to each other and exchange data correctly they are ahead of the game.
