Re: Year 2000

John,  I agreed with you initially, and even started doing it that way.  

Then performance considerations reared an ugly head.  Response times are
already bad enough.  Adding more delays while data churns through the
Ldate swamp becomes just one more reason to move on to a Microsoft
solution; and Lordy knows, the Men Above Who Decree Such Things are
looking for every reason to put it all on to Power Point any way, so their
secretaries can do the really important slides&stuff during the lunch
hour.  

In that context, a fix from IBM two years from now is of no real value
(Does the word "moot" have meaning here?).
