TO ALL::: Here's a cut and paste from the Diamond multimedia website.. should help you all understand a little more about the year 2000 problem. Notice how they "cannot guarantee that software will work"... that's where CSHK's y2k product comes in hand. Notice how they too refer people to the software manufacturer. Well CSHK's products will either already offer a patch or will identify the manufacturer and give details on how to contact them. Why is the Year 2000 issue significant? Whereas people see time as an endless continuum, computers and many applications record time and dates as just another number. As time progresses, the time number gets bigger. So a future date is always larger than a past date. However, many computer and software systems have been tracking and storing dates represented by only two digit years (e.g., 96 versus 1996). Without the century digits the last day of this millennium will be 99-12-31, and after the stroke of midnight many computers and programs will see January 1, 2000, as 00-01-01; which is a smaller number than the day before. Time will appear to have reversed causing miscalculations and inaccurate information to be reported. What is "Year 2000 compliance"? Year 2000 compliance is a term that indicates the way computers should perform before, during, and after the millennium rollover from 1999 to 2000. Are Diamond's products Year 2000 compliant? Yes, all of Diamond's Products are Year 2000 compliant. The issue really revolves around computer system level BIOS, and not add-on cards or their drivers. Are the software applications bundled with Diamond's products Year 2000 Compatible? Diamond Multimedia cannot guarantee that each and every application ever bundled with one of our products is Year 2000 Compliant. If you have any concerns, please contact the manufacturer of the application(s) for an update. jim
