I often see statements like the one you posted from the article on what governments should do about Y2K: "Failures and disruptions are beginning to occur already as information systems reach the 2000 time horizon." Is this just an urban myth or does someone have specifics about these "failures"? In response to my earlier question about this, you said that many agencies have no plans to do any testing. That doesn't seem to me to relate to the issue of whether errors are ALREADY occurring. I directed my question to you because you seem very aware of what is being written about y2K. In all your browsing, have you seen no specifics about failures that have occurred? no concrete predictions about when and where such failures will begin to occur? Any help you or anyone else can give me on this would be greatly appreciated.
