If they were included there would be only little or no change in the results. Those later responses follow almost exactly the earlier results. In effect, the indications of the results in this report are confirmed. Again using the central hardware issue of Computer Systems readiness with near or full completion, for villages the 540 respondents report 78 percent completion and the inclusive 657 respondents are also 78 percent nearly or fully complete. The issue of testing their systems also reveals either little or no variation for near and full completion.
Cities reveal some change and in a positive direction.
Counties reveal a slight downward movement in testing of their systems. Despite the slight changes in cities and counties, two salient points may be concluded. In the results both from 540 and 657 respondents, less than 50 percent of every jurisdiction plans to test its systems fully. This leads to the second point-the situation warrants continuing attention in order to determine the level of overall readiness before the millennium begins.
