Re: [[email protected]: Some networks will be down on Jan 1]
The Higher ups at B&W wanted to do the same thing....
I had top explain to them that we lose more equipment to power
off and on than Y2K could ever cause.... I will kick everyone off
at say 20:00 12-31-99, but it's not really for Y2K. It's really
because I'm the admin. and I can. :-)
If there are no users allowed online then no one can complain, therefore
I don't get any pages....
