Yes!
And thank you(us?) each and every one.
However, I am in agreement with the quoted stat that says most of the
Y2K problems will not occur tomorrow (today in some places, Happy all
digits rolled year to our Kiwi and Strine friends) but later on... on
the 15th, at the end of the month, at the end of the quarter, when
statements come in, that sort of thing. Nothing that good backups and
paper copies won't allow to be corrected, but an annoyance just the
same.
(Is Quotes 'R' Us Y2K compliant? Do you have your compliance statement
on file somewhere? If you send me a quote tomorrow that I've read
before, I'm going to want my money back! :-) )
