Thread Name: BS: Do YOU know what the Y2K bug is?
Subject: RE: BS: Do YOU know what the Y2K bug is?
At two companies where I was consulting (on non-Y2K projects) the senior management was much more concerned about proving they had given the Y2K compliance issue their best effort, than they were about actually giving Y2K any real effort at all. Both places really believed there was little for genuine concern, and that whatever issues arose they could handle (I suspect they were right). They gave real interest to the mission critical systems, and lip service to the others.

The truth be told, I have seen Y2K errors popping in the production systems of these companies for the last two years, and they have been fixed as they arise. Revenue is recognized in the future for contracts that roll out beyond the year 2000, likewise billing dates for contracts beyind year 2000 are calculated, many similar computer processes already have bumped into the Y2K bug. I suppose more will still show up.

I am not worried.
