Text from an article in ErieStewart of DiNapoli
Companies:

".. One of our largest tenants is the Dept of
Social Services. Whi;le responding to a Yr2K
survey that they sent us, I phoned our HVAC
maintenance contractor. The service tech
assured me that the thermostats would have no
problem at roll-over. Upon actually testing,
on January 1, 2000, all systems shut down,
knowing that it was a holiday. ON January 2,
2000, all systems came back online even tho it
was a Sunday (HVAC is shut off at noon on
Saturdays and isn't restored until 6AM on
Mondays). Upon further testing, we found that
pushed to January 6, 2000, all systems shut
down, thinking that the weekend had arrived.
The contractor was stunned...."

We should have lots of fun come 2000.
