Unhappy

Blacksheep I do hope this in a wind up.

Did you know Windows 95/98 and NT are NOT Y2K in it's current format? - if you use date based calculations in Excel then they WILL be wrong on Jan 1 unless you make a manual adjustment.

I have just finished a £9.75m Y2K project, and I don't think was money wasted because the problem didn't exist. I must admit though seeing 50-65 year old COBAL programmers in 3 piece suits, decent hair cuts, good manners scared the living **** out of our current programming staff who are 20-30 something with zero dress sense and manners you would cringe at.

- head programmer taken to see the head of company about a problem he has. Head of Company carefully explains what his problem is and head programmer responds "you've got a w@nk knowledge of computers" - and LEAVES the room........crikey - why DIDN'T the floor open up????????????????????

In short, there is a problem. As airmanship demands, TRUST your instruments - they won't lie to you......
