Hello everyone,I've had a couple of people write and ask me how to prepare their PC's for Y2K. I don't know how to answer as I'm a mini-programmer. That doesn't mean I'm a tiny copy of anything ;-) I work on VAX or STRATUS mini-computers. If anyone else has such a question, please be sure to post the make, model and speed of your cpu. (386, 486, pentium, pentium 2 or 3) What year is your computer and how long have you had it. I ask that anyone that can help, please try. Other than that all I can suggest is to find software that is compatable with your PC to make it Y2K complient.
Oh, I forgot to mention what Y2K stands for. Computer space is measured in 16ths and generally a "page" of memory is 1024 bytes. This is one K. Down through time this has been basterdized to mean 1000. I think that started in the NY Times classified help wanted for programmers. This job pays 75K. Takes up less space. So, in computereeze, 1K has come to mean 1000 when in reality it means 1024. Sooo, Y2K actually means Year 2048, but we use it for Year 2000. Tra La!
Thanks in advance.
Love, Annap
