Bell Atlantic Computer Crash

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

I just spoke to my brother. He called Bell Atlantic today at 4:00PM EST to reschedule an appointment and was told that they could not help him because their computers had suffered a "major crash".

FWIW.

Why is there a gerbil at Bell Atlantic should we notify Richard Gere?

Actually first heard that rumor about Gere in 1993 from my son. You reckon it's true or did that boy of mine start it? He always did have a sense of humor.

Data Error in Billing:

Yep, I talked to a gentleman today who owns stock in Bell Atlantic. He called to report that he had not received his bill yet for Dec. They checked in the comp, and read his address with the last digit in his zip being 5 when it should be 1, and they had mailed him correctly for the 7 years prior at this address.
