Hi All,
In the midst of yet another conversation with my brother last night about
Y2K, we decided to see if the rumors are really true. You know the ones,
where if a computer is not at lest a Pentium 166 or higher it is not Y2K
compatible and will shut down when the clock clicks over to 12:01AM
01/01/2000.
Check this out! I fired up my brother's 386SX16 in his basement, changed
the date and watched it roll over to January 1, 2000. I then edited a file
and checked the date written to that file. The result was 1/01/2000. I left
it at the year 2000 and everything runs great even after shutting the power
off and turning it back on! In Windows 3.11 there's a clock, which I
enabled and watched as the date was 1/1/2000 and the time kept ticking away
like it always has.
So tell me what all the fuss is about with this Y2K thing - Please!!! Is it
just another marketing ploy to get people to buy more computers? If not
that, then what's the motives? Or is this just related to mainframes?
Confused and unconvinced there's a "real" problem,
Jim
