Whereas certain computer systems cannot calculate dates beyond 1999, hence Y2K as in year 2 thousand, the Macintosh handles dates up to the year 29,940, hence Y29.94K -- by which time I expect we will all have new computers ... <G> The Macintosh computer has been able to figure dates beyond 2,000 since its inception in 1984. Unfortunately, the IBM/Microsoft world was unable as recently as two years ago to figure out that the century was going to roll over, or else figured they could sell you a new computer and a new OS by then ... Ted ================================================= mailto:egburton@valint.net Do I have a Y2K Problem? No, I've got a Mac. I've got a Y29.94K Problem! Ne molesti te deprimant ... resist the Redmondian Borg! Semper Mac!
