The recent fiasco in England whereby a program announced last March to recruit 20,000 "bug busters" to do Y2K remediation, and has so far only managed to produce only 26 people, coincides with another trend that I have been noticing. Namely, the money to "fix" Y2K is being allocated (and well publicized), but the actual SPENDING is woefully lacking -- which indicates that the work is not getting done. Does anyone have any data on this that could be shared here? Thanks.

Cory Hamasaki, superprogrammer and king-geek of the c.s.y2k newsgroup has been on the inside for years. He's been following the money. Check out the collection of his Washington DC Weather Reports at: http://www.sonnet.co.uk/muse/dcwrp.html
