I laugh at the people who made a run on gasoline and ended up running several filling stations dry. I laugh at the people who wasted their life savings on 'y2k supplies'. FWIW we saw virtually no usage change on dialups or WAN here.
I did see the hardware clock on one PII system go a little wacky. # date Sat Jan 1 19:46:48 EST 2000 # clock Wed Dec 31 18:59:59 1969 and I found out at the grocery store tonight that Barnett^H^H^H^H^H^H^HNationsBank^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HBankAmerica ^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^HBankofBorg finally deactivated my old ATM card. They've been warning me for several years that they would...ever since they started sending me debit/Visa check cards (which I've refused to use) which they want everyone to have instead of simple ATM cards. It worked last week. I guess they may have had to disable them with some y2k upgrade...or maybe they just decided to use y2k as an excuse to finally do it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Jon Lewis *jlewis () lewis org*| Spammers will be winnuked or System Administrator | nestea'd...whatever it takes Atlantic Net | to get the job done. _________http://www.lewis.org/~jlewis/pgp for PGP public key__________
