Following is a compilation of headlines from Yahoo News:
"New Zealand said Thursday the arrival of 9/9/99 -- a potential pre-cursor to the millennium bug -- had not caused computer problems, but glitches might take time to show up.?Asia emerged unscathed from a computer bug some feared would strike older systems on 9/9/99, according to reports from around the region Thursday.?The North American power grid passed the 9/9/99 test -- a date change viewed as a dress rehearsal for the Year 2000 calendar switch, U.S.?officials said early Thursday." Hmmm so much for the feared "4 9's" Bug.?I Suspect the 2000 Bug will be the same.?What do you think post comments...
