: : Danger Will Robinson! It looks like the message boards have a Y2K related bug! Our Y2K posts are coming out with the year "100".

: : Have no fear, someone is here! Now if I could only find someone to fix it...

: ROTFLMAO!!! Looks like the year-counter "sees" the new year as a combination of '19'(prefix) and '99 + 1' (suffix). Can you remove the code defining the prefix, and set the suffix up to 2000? I'm no programmer, so this is just my 2¢ worth . . . .

: Actually, today I am just glad to still have a functioning computer -- and to see that at least ONE of us also has one! I'd be really lonely out here if I was the only one posting.

: Hey, here's an idea! EVERYONE WHO READS THIS MESSAGE: PLEASE POST A BRIEF NOTE SO THAT WE KNOW YOU (AND YOUR 'PUTER) SURVIVED THE TRANSITION TO 2000!

Here's my post. But then again, you already knew that I was here.
