My experiences..... I had to install W2K a couple of days back and I must say I am impressed. Having had to install NT4 on my laptop before, I always had problems with hardware and ports. But, with W2K the installation was painless and it has'nt crashed yet !!!! Well, at least it is at the same level as Mandrake 7 now, which also does the same thing.... The things Microsoft do well.... Typography is excellent. They really have done some work on their fonts. But alas sigh.... All administration has changed... Another few days of experimentation to work out, which gui panel does what and where on earth is the damm domain name panel hidden (ha!! found out, right click on My computer!!!) -- Aravind -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rachel Polanskis Sent: Wednesday, 23 February 2000 01:06 To: slug Subject: [SLUG] W2K not OK?

The new system was put in place just a few days before the end of 1999 in an effort to make the court records system Y2K compliant. Still, (Sally) Howe Smith said, the old days under the clunky mainframe are starting to look pretty good. The new system has been down completely for at least a day twice in the last two weeks and regularly has system errors that hinder access to records for hours at a time, she said. The court records system uses Windows 2000, and the new software was deployed early for the state system. (Website coordinator Gregg) Lambert said state technicians were hoping to confer with Microsoft officials about some of the system's problems. Michael S.
