Ken -- The concern which keeps nagging me is based on the following statement from your post. I'd love to hear from a wide range of companies stating that not only are they y2k ready, but that they have also isolated themselves from any foreign suppliers who may have problems. If I can find any such info, I'll post it as fast as I can. Otherwise, I remain concerned about statements about how we're ready, but they will have problems. It is a global economy. Parts and pieces come from everywhere everyday. Do alternative sources exist within our y2k ready borders? Can foreign suppliers/customers be counted on to be ready and do their part to keep the global economy flowing? >>>.........And despite an increase in activity in other countries, international failures are likely and could have a significant impact upon areas that rely heavily upon cross-border operations.<<<<
