"One of the strangest aspects of the Y2K litigation problem is that the fear of lawsuits has created a strange paralysis among companies. Starting to correct the problem at this late date would be tantamount to confessing that they had ignored it." "An IBM study of crisis management found that companies respond in a unique way to when they do not have a backup plan. When the problems aren't fixed, the business is usually gone in two weeks." The above quotes from an article on lawyers entitled "Profiting from doomsday" in the July 4, 1998 Financial Post.
