Looks like another postponement, as per the new law.

Whenever it happens, no one will know anything!

Further thread drift (sorry S.o.S.) I was on the Y2K team for a Germany Mobile phone company, part owned by a well known UK mobile phone company at the time. We found that the main customer database system, that was respobsible for signing up new customers, managing and signing out customers - failed on the 29th Feb 2000. The mgmt INSISTED that this was NOT a Y2K failure as it was the February date We said, "Whatevvah - but you'd better fix it." They did. We found some minor systems too but the big one would have brought the whole company to a grindding halt, being unable to sign any new customers or manage any customers until it weas fixed. The repairs and testing took about two weeks.

Y2K was real and it got fixed.
