I know how you feel Mark. I got calls on the night of New Year's eve asking me to come over to fix Y2K-related problems at the last minute. Some goofballs told these people their system is Y2K-compliant forgot to mention (or perhaps didn't even know) that there's 2 sides to the equation: hardware and software. I had to leave my family and work on New Year's day for few hours.

>Our life has been a living hell all week. Many of our customers have waited until the last minute to call us for advice and/or prepare their computer systems for Y2K. We have averaged about 50 calls per day since Monday. This is about a 300% increase. We even had 1 store call us wanting us to install an entirely new network by the next day. We have only been sending them literature, notices, etc., since mid-1998.

>IMHO, this will be the biggest non-event since the Michelangelo virus scare several years ago. It won't be the computers that kill us. It's the lunatic fringe we have to watch out for.
It's "my" world. You're just living in it.
