I have a question for the better computer literate out there. On another listserv I get someone mentioned a problem which might occur before 1Jan2000. April 9, 1999 will be the 99th day of that year. Some old computers used the number of the day of the year instead of the month/day#, thus April 9, 1999 would be 9999. Also, some of these computers use 9999 as "end of line" or "end of trans". Could some computers which have never been updated crash on April 9, 1999, before the Y2K hits? don't forget how to laugh (and do it often) Marling McReynolds 49/3 [log in to unmask] http://members.tripod.com/~marling
