At the opening of Power Lunch, the moderator was telling about the guests to be on today. While he was talking about TAVA, in the background, the screen was showing pictures of Coke and Boeing headquarters, then assembly lines from Kraft and Nabisco. He also mentioned that one of the things he would ask is what happens after 2000.

(somewhat off topic) Very interesting note to make, several PC manufactures, such as Compaq, provide the end user with a test from their "Service Paks" which depending on the unit determines if your computer's ROM Bios is updated for Y2K, my unit in my home office for example is a Deskpro 590, After testing the unit with the service pak, the pak told me to upgrade the Bios via a software download, did that loaded and now conpliant. The desktop units that we have (especially the newer ones) can be upgraded, the main issues with Y2K are found in the mid to main frame old Cobol. One of my clients, for example, is homgeneous in their desktop configuration, easy to maintain, upgrade the BIOS and inventory for Y2K, their parent company is a different can of worms, many different machines from IBM to AST to who knows what and in a nightmare situation as they were not homogenious in there PC topology. Thus my good friend GoodQ you are correct in stating <<Y2K problems are accumative>> You are partially correct when it comes to stating <<a more productive way is to replace the system>> It would be the ideal situation, however, think of the costs involved with a industry wide replacement.
