'99 days to go -- for NYS, Canada, Japan, India asked in the TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) Q&A Forum The calendar count-down on my web site has reminded me that we now have 99 days to go before the 1 Apr 1999 FY rollover for NY State, Japan, Canada, and India. With that in mind, it's interesting to take a look at the status of New York's "top 40" state computer systems, which are listed at I recall reading somewhere that any new systems to be installed for the beginning of NY State's fiscal year actually have to be available by Feb 28th, since the process of de-installing old systems and installing new systems is a 30 day process. If that's true, then NY State has approx 69 days. It kinda reminds me of the old college drinking song, "99 bottles of beer on the wall..."

OK, History has shown "stocking up" on electronics is wrong, no matter if low, high, negative(de), or stag inflationary stance. In fact, most technology goes down over time no matter the level of "technology". Suggest you read the on line version of T.E.O.T.W.A.W.K.I. - if one is to depend on worst-come-to-worst. I suspect if we are truely in a deflationary economic position, one should buy those things which they know they will have a assured demand. If deflation continues. why buy anything today when it will cost less tomorrow. The on line screen play ends with a guy trading a vintage Vette for.............................................
