FWIW, my old E04 running V2R3 rolled over the
new year just fine. It never missed a beat.

New Year's Eve/Day Rollover Feedback ?? !! I had a dreadful disaster. I am reluctant to call it Y2K-related but it was a disaster. Everything was in place, all plans were made, all testing was done, nothing more to do but to sit and wait. So, I decided to watch a little TV. My remote was broke and wouldn't fire up. Technical diagnostics soon determined the batteries were not checked for Y2K, and they were refusing to function. I checked our emergency back-up stores and discovered we had overlooked purchasing a spare remote. Even worse, the family Purchasing Agent had cached a backup supply of Y2K-certifed batteries but not in the AA size. Matters became worse as midnight approached and the weather worsened. My immediate plan was to scavenge for batteries from the children's remote, but that plan failed upon implementation. Finally, in a desperate attempt to be able to watch the New Years celebrations from my lounger I went to the store and purchased new batteries, including an extra set in case the first set proved inadequate. Thankfully all went well from that point forward. Wife said that televisions also have controls on them so the TV will work without a remote. I felt it best to explain to her then about Urban Legends and how the internet perpetrates them so that she wouldn't be embarrassed later in front of knowing people. _______________________ Booth Martin boothm@earth.goddard.edu http://www.spy.net/~booth _______________________
No problem in Valdosta, Georgia. I think it has been more hype than anything else.
