relevant quote:

"According to a Statistics Canada survey last year, 66 per cent of small businesses say they have a plan to deal with Y2K issues, but only 15 per cent said it is a "formal" plan, compared with 67 per cent of large companies.

"I think many small businesses have a shorter focus, or time frame," says Henry Grunberg, partner with Ernst & Young's information-systems assurance and advisory-services practice in Toronto. "So they have not really seen Y2K as a pressing issue.""
