Re: Year 2000 woes solved?

[Glenn Ericson <Glenn-Ericson@xxxxxxx>]

The last report on this *miracle cure*, all is that it is a conceptual Idea
at this time!

Sorry gang,  there is some real work to  do here yet.

At the risk on being buried in mail I'd  like to hear from anyone that  can
tell me  there is little or now concern and  work effort for them, to  be
ready on time.!

-Glenn
