KM, I spent some time researching this and well, no "silver bullet" is the problem. Too many customized lines of code to clump under one simple solution. Most companies will either: (1). Hire a specialist to fix line by line (2). Upgrade existing system (3). Put a patch on it to extend the life of the system (4). Go out of business!! I have had a difficult time trying to find a solid company to invest in that specializes in this. CHRZ, DDIM were two of the high flyers early but it seems the big boyz (IBM) are doing a lot of it as well! sz!

Hi Kemble, I can understand that it is not easy for an "outsider" what the impact of Y2k can or will be. I know you have a habit of printing out interesting articles. This is so far the best story I read about Y2k. Very long, but worth reading it. Hope it helps you to understand what's going on. gold-eagle.com And about the silver-bullet; no way. My GUESS is that within 3 to 6 months the market will start responding. Merrill & Lynch will start this summer cut of companies that are behind schedule. biz.yahoo.com Paul
