O.H. Rundell: Bravo! Yes. Why can't Bill Gates solve this if it is so darn simple. And why does Microsoft have to say that they are Y2K compliant when they are scrambling to patch virtually everything? Enquiring minds want to know. Christine

In all reality the answer to your question is, They are not concerned over it. By the time Y2K is here it will be 9 months down the road, and it will be time to replace it with something that is not Obsolete, and the software used to operate the system will be replaced by faster, more efficient software, that will surely be Y2K compatible!! Why bother fixing it, when a planned replacement will be added??? Cost efficiency!!! Truthfully, you will have more problems with your T.V calendar, or your VCR calendar, than the largest bank in the world will have with their OS, come the turn of the century... >>>ISSME<<<

Here is an excellent link to possible Y2K problems, fixes, and frequently asked questions, I would be much more inclined to believe what is said here, than some site created on Geocities, by some one that cries, "The sky is falling", much more reputable. microsoft.com >>>ISSME<<<
