<Bugs happen all the time.> 87% of IT Professionals See Global Trouble. From Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) Dec 98 survey ... "Eighty-Seven percent of survey respondents said the Year 2000 problem is a crisis for the nation and the world. Fifty-two percent think the Millennium bug will hurt their companies; only 29% disagree with this notion. Over one-third said the bug has already started to bite, triggering failures under actual operating conditions. Of those reporting specific failures, these included data exchange errors (34%), accounting errors (27%), errors in "Y2K ready" commercial software (28%), errors in tested software causing rework (25%), data base file corruption (21%), and computer crashes (18%). In test mode, 71% of respondents are finding failures." yardeni.com Cheryl
