Frank,

I too support numerous OS adn hardware platforms. Most of these have been
Y2K for some time now. I am sure there will be some isolated incidents,
but, everall, I think we will all wake up very safe and sound. If there are
those companies that have waited till now to address it then, maybe they
should not be there in 2000... I wish everyone would relax, but not fall
asleep about this.

Vladimir,
It really is a serious problem and I am worried about it. The company I work
for has contracted out the software testing and contracted cost is 8 million
dollars for verification of the software we have source code for. This
problem will even effect things like elevators and environmental controls in
buildings. When our networks and software comes crashing down, I am the one
that MUST get it back up. I can see many many sleepless nights to get
through this one....
