Q, sez: ...even with the fact that older switches have to be either updated or replaced for Y2K compliance. While I'm not interested in bandying about price levels, I am interested in trying to understand the above. I'm not a techie and I'm not an engineer, but I do know the Y2K is coming smack at us and it has some pretty fouled up consequences. What I don't understand, in lay languaging please, is how a 2 bit year date code omission is in a telephone "switch." Would you please take a shot at this... I figured telephones would be fouled up by this Y2K bug, but I just don't understand switches, when all I know about switches is they either turn something on or off, or re-arrange train tracks so a locomotive goes left instead of right. Thanks so much. Ole "also long LU and loving it" 49r
