Re: Greetings for 1998 from Nexgen!

JMHO
Dan while I feel this is a wonderful experience you have shared. It is
inappropriate  for a forum that  generally prohibits advertisements.  

Congratulations on your success-
  What is the difference  between no  problems ad 11 minor issues?
       [ which  by  itself is a fairly good story to tell]

This being the 10th might indicate that the BPCS community is slow
 to act on Year 2000  matters.?
Glenn
