> if that elevator also happened to know about bank holidays and such, it could conceivably need to know the year. And until proven "clean" I think many of the control systems need to be presumed to have potential problems. As Catlady pointed out, all the major manufacturers state their systems to be date-free and thus Y2K compliant. But often the basic "elveator system" is driven externally, by a "building logistics" or "site engineering" system which also controls HVAC, power, etc. There are definite potentials for problems with these. Probably not fatal problems, but certainly major inconveniences in case of failure. Widespread "inconveniences" add up to a lot of real money lost very quickly. mg
