Hi, Jim. It's nice to know some of you are still out there :) I was definitely a believer in the oh, about 50-75% doomsday scenario, drawing on all of my years of knowledge and experience <g>. I guess for me the difference was that my ego was never in it, so I didn't need to mock those who said (correctly) that I was all wet. It would be nice to hear from C.K. again. She really went out on a limb in trying to warn and help us with her knowledge, and she was mocked incessantly by many. And, as I've said many times before, my only regret is also that I never got to host so many nice people from this board! Take care, }=>--------->>>>

Jim, Isn't is amazing that those embedded processors kept on ticking, unaware of time, they forgot to stop working. Although I made no y2k preparations, I was surprised by the fact that there were zero, I repeat, zero problems anywhere. Billions were spent to prepare our software for this problem yet countries that did nothing were problem free. As a software developer, I've come to understand that people don't realize problems with any system occur all the time. Fixing them is what many of us do every day.
