JDN -- The part about chip failures extending to 2006 or so caught my eye, too. I particularly appreciated the fact that the piece was written so a layperson could follow it, but was also heavily referenced so you could check on the author's conclusions. Notice also that it is a work in progress and is revised on a regular basis as more information becomes available. As I posted a couple of weeks ago, the city of Denver has officially announced a Let It Fail policy for all but the top tier of services. Any entities which follow a similar strategy will still have to be concerned about systems which do not crash at roll over. Notice also that the article discused that without APPROPRIATE testing (some of which can be quite coplicated and multi-staged), chips used in identical applications, from the same vendor, made on the same day, and with sequential serial numbers...... still cannot be considered to be compliant unless each is tested. I think many have gone either by vendor statements of compliance, and/or have pulled spare units out of storage and tested them. According to the information in the paper, this won't do. Bears who said TAVA's y2k work ends at roll over appear to be mis-informed.
