More on Y2k... Further to my post of last night about how complex today's computing enviroment is, it is interesting to see this release from Chrysler this morning which further supports my theory that no amount of preparation at this stage of the game can ensure that all Y2k problems will be safely avoided by 2000: "Thu 30 Apr 98 The Wall Street Journal reports in its Thursday edition that the dark side of the corporate information revolution is coming into view. Reporter Bernard Wysocki Jr says that companies across the country are seeing their cutting edge computer systems fail to live up to expectations, or fail altogether. What is emerging here is a search for a better balance between manpower and computer power, often resulting in some "de-automation" or "de-engineering" of an organization's information systems. The idea is to get the appropriate amount of technology needed to do the job, and no more. Chrysler Financial a year ago tossed out a recently introduced and highly sophisticated NeXT Software system bought for the company's financial team. The problem was that Chrysler's auto sales force was still using Windows, so the different divisions could not even send e-mail to each other."
