Hey TechMaster, I saw where the Feds have about 70 billion dollar surplus of cash. At least they are positioned cash wise to cover the problem. Well, if they hurry that is and the price doesn't rise. Some of those crumbs left on the table would feed our horse for a while.

Hope we can get some of that action.

>>Over the next few weeks the story will leak out about the rollover impact.

My guess is that the impact of this particular rollover (FY 98 -> 99) will not be that big, and that any "leaks" about problems arising will not be sufficiently sexy to make the front pages. (But that's just my guess.)

To really make the general Q. Public sit up and say, "Holy sh*t, this is serious!" will require some incident that the mass media can really go to town with - stories on "60 Minutes" about people on welfare not getting checks (or checks for 100 years of benefits), a bank failure, AOL down for a week, or (and I hate to say this, because I really hope it does not happen) deaths due to non-compliant medical equipment.

(Funny you should mention Peter Jennings. Here's some informed speculation: TV networks will be on the air after 12/31/1999. But the odds are good that Peter's network will be invoicing their clients manually (if at all) for at least three months after that date.)
