People ...

Don't panic.

Either way, the machine won't stop running at 11:00 tomorrow,
or midnight 12/31/2001, or even midnight on 12/31/2006. Heck,
there are even Classic boxes out there still running and
still supporting businesses.

What is your IT planning horizon? So, maybe that will
change. Maybe not.

The point is, let's take the time to rationally examine
this when emotions settle down and all the facts are
known.

In the meantime, your sites will continue to run, your
vendors will continue to vend, your consumers will
continue to consume.

Speaking for myself.
