Uh.  Won't "00" be the abbreviation for the year 2000?

Besides, I am running MS Windows...how am I supposed to tell if I have a =
Y2K bug or not.  Won't it pretty much be crash and run as usual?

Regards,

Del

    Pianotech friends,=20
    I am sending this message to you because I just got it from a =
relative and believe it may save some of you some big headaches =
tomorrow. When I received this and checked my computers I found they =
both needed to be changed, even though I had them both checked for Y2K =
compatibility many months ago.  I don't know how important this is, but =
I fixed mine and I recommend you check yours.  If you are running =
Windows, this is an easy  fix for a Y2K problem everyone should do, so =
I'm told.=20

    TEST=20

    1 . Double click on "My Computer".=20

    2. Double click on "Control Panel".=20

    3. Double click on "Regional Settings" icon.=20

    4. Click on the "Date" tab at the top of the page.=20

    5. Where it says, "Short Date Sample", look and see if it shows a =
"two digit" year. It probably does. That's the default setting for =
Windows 95, Windows 98 and NT. This date RIGHT HERE is the date that =
feeds application software and WILL NOT rollover in the year 2000. It =
will roll over to 00.=20

    6. Click the drop-down arrow to the right of "Short Date Style"=20

    7. Select the option mm/dd/yyyy. (Be sure your selection has four =
Y's, not two)=20

    8. Click "OK".=20

    Easy enough to fix. However, every single installation of Windows =
worldwide is defaulted to fail Y2K rollover. Please feel free to pass =
this on to your friends and associates.=20
