I have been compiling resources about the Millenium software issues and solutions, and may be able to respond to your questions by Email. Please indicate the nature of the problem that you are experiencing. Be sure to specify the machine type, operating environment, and languages in your question. I am maintaining a large database of problems and solutions. I will try to respond to the overwhelming amount of E-mail received, often many of you are asking the same question, so I can post to all of you at once. Often, I will direct you to someoen in your area, a newsgroup or association for networking with others that share your concerns. Keep in mind that you way you test your Y2K scenario is crucially important, and detailed documentation is required. Run a quick test by setting your system clock to 11:59:99 and turning the system off. After a coffee break, turn it on and document the new date. If it reads 01:01:2000 you will be in great shape.
