Actually, this is what I thought when I first received this message from
another source about a month ago. But just to be on the safe side, I
forwarded it to a good friend who works at Microsoft (not a "I heard it from
a friend who heard it from a friend" deal, I have known this guy since
elementary school.) He responded, surprisingly enough, this is *exactly*
what a Microsoft internal Web page has insructed its own employees to do to
ensure full Y2K compatibility. I know it sounds far-fetched, but better safe
than sorry...
