I saw it come in Sydney--via the tellie. We're quite a ways off in southern US, but our bonfire is ready and waiting S. I tried my computer several weeks ago at 11:59 Dec. 31 and then booted it up at 1/1/2000 and everything seemed 'okay', so we'll see. I did think seriously of following Allie's idea of setting it back several days--oh, come to think of it, I need to set mine back a year or 2 out in my studio. I use an older 486 out there. Whew!!!! Glad I thought of it. Diane B
