Happy New Year !!

Hi,
New Zealand is the first country in the world to see the New Year hence this post which may be a bit ahead of the local server time.

This was quite interesting around the Y2K period, while the world was watching what would happen in New Zealand when all clocks clicked happily over to 00 or 1900 or 2000.
Some people made big money allright with software upgrades etc.

Happy New Year 2007 to all.

Yes, remember the millenium bug?

I can't believe that was all seven years ago. I heard we might have a similar problem again because the software patches applied just added 20 years to the date, but I can't see any computers from the 1980s surviving into the 2020s.

Anyway Happy 2007!

happy new year Eastern Hemisphere

don't forget about the y3k bug!

computers from the 80's don't have to survive till 2020, only the software, running on new computers or in emulators. One of my customers still runs old software from the 80's, and will probably keep running it till the programmer dies or is so old he can no-longer support it. It had y2k problems, but it has lots of problems. When some index number was about to pass 65535, everyone was all nervous, luckily, the programmer fixed it in time.

Happy New Year everyone! Only 2 hours left of ole 2006 here in Minnesota!
