---I got through , that first screen is buggy, but the link worked fine, and according to these doods, every reporting country on the planet is G for green Go, good. Some "stan" countries not reporting.

What I don't understand is if a country like Italy did nothing to update thier systems and USA spent billions and both have the same result, what the hell is that?

I checked the site, and will take a stab at this........it's the time, the time isn't right. The date submitted was an hour and 39 minutes before GMT rollover. At that site, I went to the country report sections and there was a December 28, 1999 release. The first paragraph says, "Electric power and telecommunications are expected to operate more or less normally around the world, but Y2K errors will become very evident in the days and weeks after the rollover, according to the international Y2K center supported by the United Nations. "The inconveniences may not be immediately apparent this weekend," said Bruce W. McConnell, director of the International U2K Cooperation Center (IY@KCC). "There is still Y2K work to do, and we will see errors in the days and weeks ahead."

When you get the chart, scroll down to "United States," and click on it, it will give you the trouble spots to this point in time, and there are a few.
