Y2K Readiness Dubious???

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

The following list of items appeared in an article syndicated by Knight-Ridder Newspapers. The article was written by Robert A. Rankin. I have no link to offer, but manually copy here the list of 18 at- risk federal programs where doubts linger about Y2K readiness.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- FOR EDUCATIONAL AND DISCUSSION PURPOSES ONLY!!

* Child nutrition * Food safety inspection * Food stamps * Supplemental nutrition program (WIC) * Student aid * Child care * Child support enforcement * Child welfare * Indian health services * Low income home energy assistance * Medicaid * Medicare * Temporary assistance for needy families * Public housing * Unemployment insurance * Retired railroad worker benefits * Air traffic control system * Maritime safety ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Obviously, there are some heavy duty programs and services that are still the focus of considerable concern. I'm frankly surprised this was even published, given the pervasive polly stance of the media in general. I'm glad it was though. Comments???
