Mchip,

Depends on the agency. SSA has been the most proactive about Y2K and Kathy Adams, their Y2K guru, stated they are basically ready.

The one problem with being "Y2K ready" is that you truly aren't ready UNTIL every system that you interact with, or draw data from, is declared remediated.

Parts of the Treasury Dept are pretty well remediated and are moving into testing, but that testing is only as sound as those other agencies and civilian entities that they interact with.

So I was just sticking up for some of those Fed's who are on top of this.

But then again,.... there's DOD to worry about.

Regards,

Ron
