<<You know what is the killer about all this is it never needed to happen--the year 2000 problem is the biggest OOPS! I can think of--wonder who was the first techie who said "Gees,I think we overlooked something" Duh!>> I saw the guy who originally wrote COBOL on CNBC a few weeks ago. He says he's been warning about it for a looonnngg time. Since the sixties, anyway. He also said he had a solution that didn't involve re-writing all the COBOL programs. Sorry, but can't remember his name, but I think he was 78 and looked in great shape, physically and mentally.
