A few weeks ago I read that one of the computer magazines had been giving
away some desktop (as in actual physical desktop) countdown calendars as
part of a subscription promotion. The calendars displayed the year, and when
midnight, 12/31, hit, the year displayed as 19100.

Subject: [WEB4LIB] Y2K aftermath (literally)


It just dawned on me (why, I don't know but) that there were/are several
programs and screen savers out on the internet that did a count down to
Y2K.  I am now wondering, are these programs Y2K compliant.  If they
are, do they now increase the count but in the negative direction?  I
didn't download or run any so I am just curious if you have one, what
does it do now?

just a thought,

Thomas
