RE: OS Y2K Compiant

["Stone, Brad V (TC)" <BVStone@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This sounds kind of funny.  They want you to do Y2K work on their
as/400, but won't upgrade because they think the AS/400 won't be around
in 3-5 years.  Well, if they feel that strongly, why are they
contracting someone to do Y2K work on a machine that they don't believe
they will have in 3-5 years?  Why wouldn't they be migrating now to a
different platform?

Just shows the "smarts" of some people.
