From ORBI website:

The next launch of Orbital's Pegasus rocket has been delayed for 24 hours due to the very inclement weather being experienced along the California coast. The launch is now scheduled for Thursday February 5th at about 11:00 p.m. Pacific time, or 2:00 a.m. on February 6th in the East. As reported earlier, Pegasus will carry two satellites: the Student Nitric Oxide Explorer (SNOE) satellite built by the University of Colorado under a NASA-sponsored research program; and the Broadband Advanced Technology satellite, or BATSAT, a commercial communications spacecraft built by Orbital. The targeted orbital altitude for both satellites is approximately 580 kilometers.

Poster adds: "No ORBCOMM aboard."

The y2k problem really and/or usually only applies to older computers
and mainframes that corporations never wanted to replace with newer
systems. You will find that most Pentium based PC's are y2k
compliant, but most IBM older computers and older MACS are not!!!

Test this theory and change the date on your PC to the future!
My Pentium reads past the year 2000... I tried it!
