bearshark: You could be right about the NT thing (i'm far from an expert, just my "gut feeling). Some places I know of are planning to have all their machines turned off when the date rolls over just in case. Don't know if that's the smarts way to handle it, but it is an idea (if your operation can handle a planned outage of a few minutes while you reboot). I've heard that many businesses are planning to "isolate" their machines around that the rollover for security reasons. I wonder if that will effect how well the internet will function when the new year sweeps across the USA. Well, I've been watching the news almost constantly ever since Tonga, and have yet to see anything that qualifies as a real "damage report." So far so good, it seems to just "business as usual," and this despite the fact that parts of China, Russia, and India have rolled. Right now Russia and the whole Yeltsin situation is a bigger story than y2k imo.
