KLM announced many months ago (I think it was end of 1997) that they would not fly for several days starting in 2000. I suspect the real number of days might be a bit more than what they have announced. John

N.Y. Fed president urges attention to millennium problems Copyright © 1998 Nando.net Copyright © 1998 Reuters News Service NEW YORK (October 19, 1998 08:20 a.m. EDT nandotimes.com) - The world's financial community needs to better address computer problems related to the Year 2000, Federal Reserve Bank of New York President William McDonough said Sunday. "I do not think it would be possible to overstate the importance of the Year 2000 problem as an issue for financial markets," McDonough told the Regional Y2K Meeting for Financial Regulators in the Asia/Pacific Region. McDonough's speech delivered in Sydney, Australia, was also available in New York. "The Year 200 problem is an issue for every country, firm, organization, government agency, bank and piece of critical infrastructure in the world," he said. The millennium bug could wreak havoc on information systems or global financial transactions after the century changes if old software programs are unable to correctly process two-digit year references in dates after Dec. 31, 1999. When the year 2000 arrives, systems could mistakenly interpret the "00" in the year field as 1900 -- causing them to crash or corrupt data. McDonough also stressed the importance of cooperation and coordination, as well as information sharing and disclosure, as key steps to address the Y2K problem. "Of the many different elements of a sound Year 2000 project plan, perhaps none is more important than testing," he said. McDonough also is Chairman of the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision of the Bank for International Settlements. nando.net Charles

WASHINGTON (October 20, 1998 1:44 p.m. EDT nandotimes.com) -- The Securities and Exchange Commission has charged 37 brokerage firms with failing to fully report on their computer systems' preparedness for the turn of the millennium, the SEC announced Tuesday. The firms are relatively small and not widely known Wall Street names, but the cases mark the first time regulators have taken enforcement actions related to the year 2000 disclosure requirement. nando.net
