Yes, I am finding all kinds of things out there as I look harder. Just went and double checked for upgrades since I am having problems. I thought I checked everything before but it is amazing how much harder you look and dot your "I"s once your really experiencing trouble. Just visited my MetaStock support area and found a patch put out in December for my data downloader. It states that data can not be downloaded after 3 January if the patch is not installed. Wouldn't I have been surprised to find no updates when I came home from work Monday. <g> Noticed that some of the download areas were also slow as I double checked updates for my various drivers and programs. I guess there are a lot of other people out there having these not critical but annoying problems. The scary part of what you mentioned with the receipt problems is how dothe companies or the customers for that matter distinguish what are real charges and what are fake charges being done by criminals. Normally various security measures are taken to ensure that charges are verified. If too many "out of the ordinary" problems are encountered, they may become so busy dealing with 40 year old charges that false charges start leaking through. Not fact but a "what if" thought. Maybe buying the credit companies and banks isn't quite a good idea on weakness after all. I wonder how long before these problems will be disclosed instead of what CNN is reporting about how there are no problems. As for us, I can't say much but we did have a couple of problems at work that were nothing major but it was not a non event. Hard to tell if it was really Y2K related or just a problem with us not normally ever shutting down the systems and bringing them back up. My area of responsibility went through the reboot no problema but the guys higher up the chain ran into some "issues" as we like to call them. <ggg> Good Luck, Lee
