Great find Josef! << Mr. Greiner has more than 27 years of experience in all segments of the large systems environment. Before joining META Group in April 1993, he was vice president and director of the storage service and most recently, group vice president of software services including open systems and client/server at Gartner Group. Previously, he spent 24 years at IBM, where his responsibilities primarily involved IBM's worldwide large systems strategies and offerings. Before leaving IBM in 1990, Mr. Greiner held key management positions in Enterprise Systems headquarters. Mr. Greiner received an M.B.A. in Finance from Cornell University. >> So Greiner was at Gartner and IBM before joining Meta group. Guys, you have to know that by many leading people in the IT business, Gartner is regarded as THE top IT consultancy firm (especially on setting new trends etc.). Also, on Y2K Gartner is widely regarded as one of the leading firms on (high level management-) consultancy (the $600 billion price tag for worldwide remediation is the most quoted figure in press articles on Y2K as most of you know; they recently upped this figure). So good news to me! Regards, John

I was talking to a tech. support engineer at my company and he was telling me that they pulled two supposedly identical Westronics chart recorders from the store room to do compliance testing on them. One excepted the date change without problems and the other locked up. It was discovered that one had a different version of the same chip than the other. There was no way to tell which version of the chip was installed except by eyeballing it and getting the specific data off the chip. Anyone who thinks that this problem is going away on 1\1\2000 is mistaken. There should be lots of work to do by TAVA in their core business replacing failed systems and instruments to the manufacturing industry. This is where the alliance with Wonderware can pay big dividends.
