John: Database/100,000+ items - The World Future Society (people like the Naisbitts)recently reported on its special Y2K conference held in Washington DC. Among the conclusions reached by the world's leading futurists (people who study the future, not commodity traders) at the end of the seminar: Y2K is the first of more technology-caused problems to come. They saw no reason to think that, in a world growing ever more complex and interdependent, that Y2K would be the end of the technology snafus, which are already brewing. Y2K turned out to be identifiable and addressable. They did not predict where future snafus would develop, only that Y2K raises the probability that they will happen, and Y2K is a "heads up". Tava's database is extremely valuable, if the futurists are right, as it contains over 90,000 items that are NOT date-dependent, and therefore still likely to be in use in legacy systems worldwide once Y2K is behind us.
