Dang, Jeffrey. I was just about to post the first substantive Y2K news in a year: usatoday.com

"Y2K bug bites trains in Norway
"OSLO, Norway (AP) — The Y2K computer glitch hit Norway's national railroad company a year later than expected. The bug was discovered when none of the company's new 16 airport express trains or 13 high-speed, long-distance Signatur trains would start early in the morning of Dec. 31. The computers on board the trains apparently did not recognize the date, something not anticipated by experts who checked the systems thoroughly last year in anticipation of problems feared worldwide when the clocks rolled to Jan. 1, 2000, a spokesman said.

" 'We didn't think of trying out the date 31/12/00,' said Ronny Solberg of Adtranz, the German producer of the new trains.

"Sunday's problem was quickly solved on a temporary basis by resetting the computers to Dec. 1, 2000, and the trains started upon ignition." [END]

Hope things are well with you. Still praying for a moonshot in ALYD (IARC). Hoping Mad Monk shows up again. Looking for CKHouston. Heard from TEDennis a while ago on the TAVA (TPRO) thread. Wondering about the Y2Kster. So it goes...
