Should all compliance be forgot...

Article Abstract:

Balfour Beatty IT Director Colin Darch confirms the company will have some workers in the office on New Year's Eve. He suggests all firms have a 3-4% risk of being affected by the millennium bug. HTA IT manager Rory Bergin confirms all of his computers have been tested and are millennium-compliant. AYR Systems and Communications Manager Matthew Kyte concurs all of his computers are millennium-compliant but he has not decided whether to turn them off anyway, as he fears they may be affected by any changes in the power supply. He does not intend to work on the night.
