My current primary client plans to.  Why?  "Company policy."  No better 
reason than that.  The plant's shut down for the holiday, so nobody should be 
working other than IS.  If "stuff" blows up January 1st, who cares?  
"Corporate", that's who.  "Stuff" blows up here every day that's completly 
unrelated to Y2K, so why ruin someone's holiday?  Hype.  A wasted New Year's 
for everyone, IMO.  Frankly, I'd be more concerned if I worked for one of 
those companies that plans to shut its' systems down for the holiday.  The 
last time that happened for me, I nearly lost seven months worth of work due 
to DASD that didn't want to restart after Christmas '97...
