Vladimir,

I wish I could say the same, we are now in the process of Y2K certification.
Some of our mainframes need to be replaced (not Y2K compliant). Some of our
in-house software is 20 years old and still needs to be checked out. We also
have some of our platforms that still need an OS upgrade. Still a lot of
work to do and I am nervous....
