Is is (approximately) known how many percent of the owners of computer systems have ever tried with some test cases to find out whether their hardware/software could be susceptible to the Y2K problem? I guess such tests would deliver some confidence intervals of whether the problem could actually arise at 2000.
What, you trying to downplay the tumult and ? that y2k will cause??? the fearmongerers will not be happy with you. They want everyone to be begging them for mercy, safety, deliverance from the y2k bug.
What? you say consumers should actually test their own shit? You forgot to mention the outside consultants who should be brought in at xyz dollars per hour. To think that Joel and Janice Consumer might actually be able to test their own equipment for y2k compliance.
y2k is coming, or else!!! (read, it will be manufactured if it does not eventualize itself).
In WHICH word I wrote I was downplaying??? I think you are up-playing! Are you a consultant, desiring to earn money? If not, then try to keep discussion to real matters of the problem. M. K. Shen
