Cheeky,
"It's still a little too soon to assume the Euro has arrived
without data-corrupting incidents. With the first few days
worth of trading in the currency just being settled, the
possibility of problems still exists. But, as a bellwether of
things Y2K, the Euro transition should provide substantial
peace of mind to those concerned that the world's data
infrastructure will come unglued on January 1, 2000."
The introduction of the Euro and the lack of JoAnn Effect are both positive indications.It is however way to early to let ones guard down.The Euro introduction is limited in scope mostly a bank to bank thing. There is every reason for the European central banks not to let us know if there were glitches.They may have concentrated so much on the Euro that they are further behind on y2k.Time will tell but so far so good.

This is exactly what I was referencing in my prior post.
there were rumors of massive settlement problems. People started buying $'s based on
the assumption it was going to be problematic going forward. "
