FROM CALIFORNIA"STATE WATER RESOURCES CONTROL BOARD YEAR 2000 - Information for Waste Dischargers "There is very little information on the Internet about Year 2000 as it impacts waste dischargers. It may be that this area has been overlooked, or that efforts to address these problems have not been documented. With your participation, we hope that this site will help serve to fill this void." swrcb.ca.gov SIGH - I'm beyond anger. I feel overwhelming sadness. Cheryl P.S. Jim Lord's book, "A Survival Guide for the Year 2000 Problem," is now available, in its entirety, on the Internet. No charge. Also available are over a year's back issues of his "Y2K Reality Watch" newsletter. survivey2k.com Let others know. FYI - I paid $129 last year for the book and newsletters. Situation is so critical, that Jim has now made the book and past newsletters available for free.

Hey Fred--Remember my 1 trillion...er...uh, 10 billion prediction? Well if this poster to csy2k is correct we are closer to that 10 billion than I thought. <snip> >>>The cost estimate has gone up yet again and they claim it is clear that it will continue to go higher. Perhaps none of you remember John Koskinen's remark in march of last year when he laughed at the notion of the budget going higher than five billion when it was then, currently at 4.5 Billion. And do not forget the additional three billion in 'emergency funds that have also been allocated and spent which are NOT being mentioned in this new 6.8 billion number. That brings the total up to just about 9.8 billion. And remember this is only for 3994 mission critical systems, not all 75,000=/- systems. In December of 1997, I wrote that it would exceed ten billion easily.<<< Are my prediction powers not vast? Still taking bets...ROTFLMAO
