IANAL, but I advise you to come up with a formal statement about this
(you'll start to get asked a LOT, especially by your corporate customers),
and that you state clearly in your formal statement that you make no
additional express or implied warranties regarding Y2K compatibility above
and beyond your original written warranty (which should have limited your
liability explicity, if legal). Lawyers are going to have a FIELD day
suing, and your statement below could be thrown in the face of the court
and yourself as an implied warranty, so that if there WERE to be an
unforseen problem with Emerald (I know you don't expect there will be, but
it COULD happen), a judge might decide that you warrranted against such
problems and award damages. They expect several hundred BILLION in legal
fees and awards over this. CYA.
