U.S. Firm Sees Troubling Russia Millennium Glitches << Problems converting Russia's aging software to avoid millennium computer glitches are worse than initially thought and could cause critical systems to crash, a U.S. computer expert said Tuesday. Key private-sector computer systems likely will not be modified in time to keep them from crashing with the changeover to 2000, said Vivek Wadhwa, chief executive of Relativity Technologies Inc., which is working with Russia's private sector on the problem. ''What's happening over there is there's still a lot of apathy, there's almost a sense of hopelessness in many cases, and the systems are a lot more bug-ridden than we thought they were,'' said Wadhwa told Reuters in an interview. -- cont'd -- >> dailynews.yahoo.com
