Issme: I will save the thread the trouble of reading the reams and reams of Microsoft FAQs on Y2K. I have studied this. I have talked to people working on this problem. I have one simple question. Why is Microsoft implying that their software is Y2K compliant - which most reasonable people would interpret as meaning it is just fine the way it is - when every single program I have found to date is going to require a software patch. Answer me that. And, while you are at it, what system do you think Microsoft is going to come up with to find and help fix every single app out there with their name on it. Including the operating systems. Oh, by the way, there are quite a few programs that they aren't going to fix at all. Want to speculate on who is running those programs and what contingency plans they have in place. Think Microsoft is contacting them or helping them with those contingency plans? Christine
