It's been my experience (limited to just to networked PCs, to be sure) that most systems and apps are constantly on the ragged edge already. Tney don't "need" the added problems of Y2K. More and more will be pushed over the edge.

Thanks, V.B. I agree. This also fits well with a problem we have at work. Since the majority of our mainframe work is being "converted" to new technology, we are going to convert systems that don't have a Y2K problem, so we can dump the old hardware. I think we will be seeing many more stories like this. See ya. <:)=

I guess we won't be seeing any more Toilet & Douch ads on TV any more
