I've just finished surfing the net checking on the online banks and have found some interesting problems. Wrong dates on web entry screens and server problems and missing web pages.

Hello Justthinkin,

Those kind of errors will probably be fixed in a week or so. Errors in dates that are printed out in some form or displayed on the web will get a lot of attention.

As far as I'm concerned, Y2K=TEOTWAWKI.. I don't really care if thousands of application systems have run-of-the-mill bugs. There are tens of thousands of programmers (like myself) that can descend on these in paralell and fix them immediately. As long as it does not affect safety, communications or critical delivery systems, it really does not matter.

I'm looking for the more General failure across all systems. I just don't see it, though.

Even the Soviet Chernobyl Nuclear plant got through the rollover ..minus one reactor, of course :-)

Another point of consideration is as long as Pro and the other Rendon minions continue to spam this group you know problems are occurring. I think we can create a new law:

"The level of Y2K distruptions are equally proportional to the serving size and qauntity of spam".

font color="green"> Wrong dates on web entry screens and server problems and missing web pages. Gary North has a LOT of missing web pages, good thing everything he posted has been saved.

As for the rest, writing web pages takes kittle knowledge, progrsmmers of mainframes have hundreds of applications which they use and htm(l) is just a simple one that reflects in no way "programming". If it your failure has to do with a webpage-remember, most people making webpages are self taught. They are not programmers and it ain't programming. JAVA etc is the same thing. It was created for the web, it is not mainframe programming. Now if you discount all of the error you find on webpages, where are all of the Y2K failures? Has anyone posted any REAL Y2K programming or embedded problems?

All I am seeing is regular, everyday, real life problems that people are trying to twist into Y2K problems.

Sorry but "prove it isn't a Y2K problem" doen not fly any more. After all the BS before the rollover, it is now up to people to "prove it is a Y2K problem". To do otherwise shows how pathetic some people have become in their "need" to see failures. (why is beyond me, unless it is a mental problem".

Ha Ha. Petards and all that.

I think the fat lady is beginning her song. The worldwide stock markets are trading, media is up, although gov't. is quiet I'm SURE tax witholding, etc. will continue as before. As Cherri says, things will get back to normal in less than a month. Its up to those who claim there are Y2K issues to prove it.

Now, my generator is officially for "ice storms and summer thunderstorm outages" and the food will be slowly consumed.
