Agreed. The more outrageous the prediction, the more press it gets. Also, my computer company has been in existence since 1975. EVERY system we have developed stores the date year as four positions. Since we use the PICK operating system which stores the date as the actual number of days since 01Dec67 ie. 01Jan2000 is 11689, we are Y2K compliant there as well. We are being criticized because we don't have committees looking at fixing our "problems". We are being penalized because we did our job right in the first place. As far as I am concerned, those programmers and companies who designed systems with two position years, should be found negligent, and forced to fix the problem at their cost.
