Air Force Say Missiles Are Ready For Y2K - (MALSTROM AIR FORCE BASE) -- United States Air Force officials say that the 200 or so intercontinental ballistic missiles scattered around Great Falls are all safe from any Y-2-K problems. Sergeant Edward Stuart says that the missile programs are all safe from Y-2-K bugs, because they are all "too old" and do not have calendars in the programs.

You are correct, NOT EVERYBODY is giving us BS. BUT, I, as a former Sgt in USAF, and a former missile tech, (AFSC 31651L)-small missles-- can tell you that in all probability this Sgt HAS NOT read the NIST/CenturyCorp release on 22 November, and would have NO CLUE what to do with the data if he/she did.

Do not respond to her (LadyLogic). She is banned from posting to this board. She has repeatedly violated the guidelines of posting here. She has proven to be unstable, at best. She is deleted on sight.

Damn ! This is scary. This excuse -

Sergeant Edward Stuart says that the missile programs are all safe from Y-2-K bugs, because they are all "too old" and do not have calendars in the programs.

- expired 2 years ago and should have been removed from operation. The fact that an updated excuse was not used must indicate a programming error in the top secret spinmeister program. This must be the 1/10th of one percent of mission critical systems that Clinton says still needs to be remediated. This is truely alarming, for government cannot continue to function without spin. This will truely be TEOGAWKI (G=gubmint).
