LOL : "The MBTA Board directors approved a FIVE year program to fix the problem' From the SIM board. John ________________ 7. Author: David C. Hall ( dhall ) Date: Feb. 26 2:04 PM 1998 I wish this was a joke, but it's not. The Boston Globe on Friday 13, 1998, page B5 reports that the MBTA (the local Boston transit authority) "faces a Year 2000 problem. That is when computers programmed only for dates in the 20th century may shut down or go bonkers becasue they will not recognise the shorthand "00" dateas 2000." It goes on to report that "The MBTA Board directors approved a FIVE year program to fix the problem". Draw your own conclusions. Dave Hall dhall@enteract.com
