I guess if you are not in the industry and it is not what pays for your
house, kids, wife, vehicles, investments, and living expenses you don't
actually see the impact of the Y2K problem.
There are allot of companies out there who have this we will wait and see
attitude about Y2K, wait till they get into work the next Monday and there
entire operational program that was written in 1986 isn't able to say
process orders from the warehouse...maybe they sell....um....who
know....widgets for Mopar.....no more widgets.....
I was talking to a tech at Lucent the other day, he said that there are
phone switches out there (in small and remote towns) that are in no way
ready for Y2K....no phones could be a problem for some small communities
come 2000.
The state of Colorado is still not Y2K compliant, neither is....get
this...the IRS.
The Y2K is not all bad....it is making me more money on the side now...I
have calls daily people asking me to check their machines and networks for
Y2K compliance, updating BIOS, and installing Windows 98 or NT...."Thank
you, that will be $85 an hour."
