We didn't have a meltdown because people like me all over the world made the necessary changes to their computer software, or updated their equipment.<BR/><BR/>Our computer lab was running on an old version of NetWare that could not handle Y2K at all. We couldn't afford to replace the software. So I ended up setting the clock on the server to be 1972, as I recall. I may be wrong about the year, but the idea was to find a year where the same day of the week fell on the same date. From then on, I had the program set to just not show the year, and we went merrily about our business.<BR/><BR/>If I had not tinkered with the server and the program, our lab would have quit completely.<BR/><BR/>So, hopefully, the DST mess really will be overblown talk, or we are in for big trouble, as no one seems to be taking this one seriously.Rosemaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10226054665586033464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31956135.post-47051945698916328102007-02-17T19:13:00.000-06:002007-02-17T19:13:00.000-06:00Wanted to stop by to send you a quick howdy.
