Peter,

You are so right. I have been telling anyone who'd ask that there was nothing to worry about for a number of months prior to Jan 1, 2000 but, the reason I felt so confident is a result of being in the business. Our Netapp customers span the gamut of business types from banking to engineering and the efforts of all the techs at those companies is the underlying reason for the smooth transition.

Hell, even Microsoft took things seriously enough to make patches available to anyone who had an interest in being preemptive. It was a proud moment for Computer Techs everywhere.

(Reaching over to pat myself on the back.)

Some of you may be wondering why you're just now getting messages from Jan 1st and on. No, it's not sendmail's lovely queue processing. In fact, it was hypermail not being happy with they year 2000. Damn thing spun in a loop forever...

Anyway, I've upgraded. As a result, I've had to completely rebuild the toasters archive. A quick glance and it looks happy. The search, on the other hand, I'm not so sure about... I'll have to play around a bit with that. If anyone notices any problems, please let me know.

The archive is located at http://teaparty.mathworks.com:1999/toasters.html
