Re: y2k reflections

Interestingly, I have a client that went the 28-year route.  As one can 
imagine any firm choosing this solution also will have lots of old stuff 
around including old PCs.   Did you know you can't set an old PC back to 
1972; that they go reset to Jan. 1, 1980?  They didn't know that until 
last Monday.
