I have followed this thread long enough to realize that I will never understand enough to comment knowledgeably on the Y2K problem. WHat I do know, however, is that I asked my husband, who works for a major airline, what his company was doing, if anything. He told me that they had expended a great deal of time and money within their own computer division to deal with the questions. He said the expense and the effort had been very costly but that they were taking no chances. He's not in the technical area of management, so had no real knowledge of what was happening---only that it IS happening. The very fact that people seem so uncertain over whether it is a "non-event" or a catastrophe in the making, even people with fairly in-depth knowledge, is disconcerting to me. It makes me wonder exactly how many things depend on generic embedded chips that might contain date-reliant data whether they "need" to or not---as in elevators- because it was cheaper to install those than have a special one designed. I just don't know. I do know that anyone who posts adamantly one way or the other, leaves me wondering what they know that so many don't. It's a gamble. I haven't bet the farm, but I have decided TAVA's as good a chance as any to take. ( I LIKE Mr. Jenkins-as a theatre major, his theatrical performance was lacking, but there was something that I trusted in him-heck, I'm a Pisces, what can I say) penni who seldom posts, but reads it all

Give me a break with this wall street test stuff. They just spent 6 billion to repair the code and had a control testing environment. Of course it worked, why wouldn't it. You don't pay 6 billion dollars to fix code and not have it work. Wall street was smart enough to be first sector to be compliant. Are you stupid enough to think that's it. Problem solved. The only people in the world who have Y2K problems are on WS and it's done. Besides this is not even TAVAs market. How many plants reside on wall street. Last time I checked not too many. The sky is fine the only thing falling is your BULL.
