Jeff--I know this is hard for you (as well as many others) but you must think beyond the end of the grocery store shelf and if possible across an ocean or two to see where some very serious problems could well wreck the "oasis" Greenspan alluded to in him comments. Or is that too much for YOU? "flatsville"

<flatsville: your so smart (in your own mind) try to explain this, or is a real world example too much for you? ... "V.P. Kraft Foods said "massive" problems will start occurring January 1,1999 ... because of date codes. They've already encountered problems."> THIS WAS ASKED & ANSWERED PREVIOUSLY JEFF. REPOST: Message 7655979 Excerpt JEFF: You're right. You wouldn't be having, or seeing problems with delivery right now. And, I don't anticipate that you'll run into problems until later this year. I have no idea when. I haven't kept up with this. He [Kraft VP] was referring to "massive problems" internally. Remember, where I mentioned that certain raw materials (not many back then) ... had to be tracked manually? IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED IN A RECAP OF CONFERENCE LAST SPRING, RECOUNTING PROBLEMS IN FOOD PROCESSING ... Message 7621036 This is the "Kraft & Massive Problem" deal that that Jeff keeps bringing up. It clearly states that what was referred to were "massive problems" which they encountered INTERNALLY, a year ago. Kraft is well ahead of the game, and has been working on this for some time. Nonetheless, they as other's are developing contingency plans. Cheryl
