Say, I could use a break (paid, I hope) at Y2K :) More seriously, congress and the major government agencies are in a near state of panic about Y2K. They wait until virtually the last minute, and now they're putting us all through hoops filling out documentation and running tests, without much regard to whether we're old mainframe cobol or PC/server vfp5.

I can tell there're going to be a few problems, there are some old systems that are nearly impossible to Y2K-fix 100%. It's going to be interesting...
