85% Energy Department Critical Systems OK for Y2K << Secretary of Energy Bill Richardson has been urging all Department of Energy managers and contractors to work quickly on the Y2Y computer problem. Today he reported that 85 percent of the department's 420 mission-critical systems are now fully Y2K compliant, having been renovated, tested and implemented. This rate is up from the 50 percent compliance reported three months ago due to an incentive-based program launched in December to recognize and reward government and contractor employees and organizations responsible for quickening their Y2K remediation efforts. The targets were January 31 for mission-critical systems, and March 31 for nonmission-critical systems. -- cont'd -- >> ens.lycos.com Poof and we did it ... 35% more in 3 months ... not! :-))

John: I'm a complete novice. I've read both ends of the spectrum. Until last night I decided that nothing bad will happen, I few hiccups and everything would be alright in a couple of weeks. I'm working at a small company with about 8oo employees. We have about 800 networked computers with a ful IS department. I had Microsoft word opened and I imported an excel spreadsheet. In one of the date columns I put in the Number "34". When I went to the next cell the date "2-3-1900" appeared in the previous cell. Now I'm back to where I was one month ago - worried as hell. I thought I would share this with you. Roger
