RE: TI-H: HAPPY Y2K
We have some old IBM 486-66's...one is our Infogenesis Store Controller
(all the touch-screen cash registers talk to it) and one is some poor gal
in HR's PC. Both refused to make the rollover...the Info store controller
was critical so we powered it down and made the rollover manually. The HR
Admin Asst.'s PC, however, said 1/1/80 when she came in on Monday.
Surprisingly, not 1/3/80 but 1/1/80.
The HR Admin is getting a new Dell here soon, and we can't upgrade the Info
store controller without paying major money to Infogenesis...the IBM 4690
"Flex OS" that runs it checks the hardware before it even starts, and it
won't even accept a bigger hard disk. :(
Oh well. I'm definitely loving the fact that Y2K turned out to be
"Apocalypse Not", as Jon Katz of slashdot.org said.
