Re: What ? A silver bullet announcement

[HankHeath@xxxxxxx]

My apologies. Apparently when Gary e-mailed his press release, the Word 6
document translated the "circle R" symbol for trademark into an O. As a
result, Silver Bullet (trademark) translated into Silver BulletO. The proper
name is Silver Bullet, and Dan Harrow has registered it as a trade name.

Incidentally, Gary called me up today, and said that he was getting a lot of
phone calls from you all about his product. Despite many of us having qualms
about any claims of a silver bullet, there are many more who are anxious for
a solution, regardless of the claims. They just aren't vocal on the lists for
fear of criticism, according to Gary.

      FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
      
      
      MILLENNIUM SILVER BULLETO for the AS/400
      Info Tech, Inc. of New Jersey has developed a `silver bullet' tool 
      that solves the Year 2000 problem for users of the IBM AS/400 
      mid-range computer. The Millennium Silver BulletO for the AS/400 
      (MSB/400O) converts 100% of the date fields in an AS/400 database and 
      brings them up to `Year 2000 Compliance.'  MSB/400 accomplishes this 
      by expanding the date fields to include the applicable century. The 
      tool then searches the application programs and produces a 
      line-by-line report identifying every line of programming code to be 
      examined.
      
      CORRECTS THE PROBLEM - NOT JUST A "FIX"
