Hi Mike, I like Homer's (nuclear reactor operator) solution posted earlier this week. Tell your computer it's 1969. Or pick your favorite year. Only programs it'll mess with are Quickbooks and Turbotax, and I can do them on the new Compaq, which is Y2K compliant. Guess it won't work for mega-corporations, but for small businesses, other than messing with dates in accounting programs, why not? CB

P.S. My brother-in-law the Cobol programmer, who works for a temp firm, says that he is just about done with his Y2K programming, the temp co. is going to place him doing something else.

P.P.S. Caught your letter in Barrons. "You're so vicious."
