Big companies are very busy and will make it; some of them may well be even better off that US / UK counterparts. Reason: public institutions have been only recently been privatised to some extend (e.g. German Telekom). So the IT landscape is less diverse. (this is my interpretation; not on that site). the usual suspects (SME, health care, manufacturing) are probably in worse shape than UK, US. I succeeded in starting discussion threads on TWO German political parties website. Hope to keep them alive; it costs me A LOT OF TIME AND EFFORT. But there are coming some responses other than the usual 'Y2k is not problem; stop the B*S - just like we used to have in the US almost 1 year ago). It is like keeping a small woodfire burning.... I just keep on putting additional wood on it; hope the flames get bigger. got a response on the Green site that they would forward some articles to the responsible MDB (member of parlament in Germany); so who knows ;-) John Liberal party (now into the opposition after 29 years (!) in government. Might be a good topic for opposition <gg>: fdp.de Green party - now for the first time in power on the federal level; there'in for a nasty surprice. Posted some environment-related y2k stuff; like sewage systems problems etc: 194.221.99.80:8080/expand?179,7#179
