[CTRL] Solution for Email Freezing on CTRL Emails ONLY

2000-05-18 Thread Mary K. Gemmato

I had the same problem and fixed it. Contact your isp and ask them what your
limit of incoming messages per day is. Often time to save money they limit
everyone to a hundred incoming messages a day. As we all know 100 incoming
messages a day is a slow day for CTRL (ha ha). I had mine changed from 100 a
day to 200 a day. What I did was make an extra folder on Outlook Express for
"old news". Once or twice a day I send all my mail there until I can go thru
it. This way I no longer freeze up.

[CTRL] 1Re: [CTRL] Y2K~The HARD Facts...

2000-01-07 Thread Mary K. Gemmato

 -Caveat Lector-

William,
  I have heard that many companies did nothing more that roll back
their computers to a different year. If this is true all they did was stall
the problems until another time in the future.
  Personally, the electronic time clock at the nursing home where I
work is all screwed up. The atm machines in northwest Indiana have been
acting strange for the last four months, sometimes allowing withdrawals and
other times giving error messages such as wrong pin number, no such account,
or insufficient funds when the money is there. Often the atm will turn you
down on credit card withdrawals (which could be the fault of Cirrus or the
credit card companies computers). It is not just one bank or systems atms
but seem to be across the board.
