Re: Y2K Blues

LOL, I love it.

Or how about something to the effect:

December 17, 2099

Dear Sir or Madam,

All our systems are Y2K compliant, and as such after January 1st, 1900
all our programs will continue to function as before.

Our systems now look at any date and calcite the century based on the
year, and has been working thus since September 1st, 2099.

Regards,

yada, yada, yada.


The one I liked best went something like:

Dear President,

We have finished the Y2K conversion project as given to us by
your office.  In our system all references to January are now
Januarark, as are Februark, Mak, Julk.  Also, Monday is now
refered to as Mondak, as are Tuesdak, Wednesdak, Thursdak,
Fridak and Saturdak.

We as of yet do not understand the reasoning behind this change,
but it was done as requested.

On a further note, what are we going to do about the fact that any
date in our system after Januark 1st, 2000 will think it's Januark 1st,
1900?

Regards,

yada, yada, yada.
