Re: [28-year] Y2K tools for BPCS 5.1

Glenn,

How did _I_ get involved in this???  The discussion is relevant to BPCS, so 
I'm not going to interfere there.  Tracking legal issues via the various 
partys' protestations on the Internet is not my job.  "Let the buyer beware" 
is just good common sense.  Neither party has violated list rules, so why do 
I need to take time out to resolve this dispute?  I made a comment _on 
another forum_ about not liking the 28 year solution personally, but that 
doesn't mean that it isn't a viable option for some folks.  

Y2K is close.  If you want to choose the 28 year solution, that's your 
prerogative.  If there is a legal dispute over the technology, it's _ALSO_ 
your option to choose something else.  The _customers_ shouldn't be at risk, 
despite the outcome of judicial proceedings.  All arguments are valid on 
BPCS-L, but I think we've had about enough of it, IMO...
