>From Edupage: SURVEY SHOWS COUNTIES ARE BEHIND ON Y2K FIX A survey by the National Association of Counties shows that one-third of the nation's counties aren't even aware of the Y2K problem -- and about 75% of the 119 counties with populations below 10,000 haven't developed a plan for updating their computer systems to deal with the millennial data change. Total Y2K spending among counties is expected to reach $1.7 billion, according to the association. (Information Week 14 Dec 98) So ... what kind of market niche does *this* offer?
