TECHNICAL - some hot dates <snip> 'I'm just pointing out that there are hot dates prior to January 1, 2000. December 1, 1999 is one of them, I suspect that January 1, 1999 will be fun city for some folk. After that, there are other hot dates, February 1-5, 2000, when the month closes, and April 2000, 1Q close-out will also be wacky and wonderful. The hottest of the hot dates is Year End 2000, the processing in the first part of 2001 will be a real panic as compressed, windowed, indexed, data hits the Year End jobs for the very first time. Of course having the home grown archivers (and very likely some commercial products) go wacky as dates like 1/1/100, 1/1/00, 1/1/19100, 1/1/2000, and so on, hit them for the first time. That will be a real hoot. So applying Tom's Rule, we should shift these Hot Dates by a few hours. ..and through it all, please, please all you geeks, small, medium, or large, please charge a fair rate. You deserve it. I saw an article about how the U.S. Air Force is losing pilots again; even though they're paying experienced pilots $100,000 re-up bonuses. To the AF's credit, they're giving it a good try. Now let's see a fair bonus and compensation for geeks. cory hamasaki 15,521 minus 5 hours to go. _____ From c.s.y2k
