[TenTec] Y2K

[Cook, Thomas A]

Somehow I think that if a little logic is applied to the QSL, solution, it
will be very obvious what the real year is.  Where we get into trouble is by
blindly trusting a fundamentally dumb machine to give us all the answers.
Garbage in + screwy software/firmware => smelly garbage out.  Will Y2K make
problems for people?  Yes.  I already had a problem with a "Hotline Home"
bill (daughter @ college), but to their credit, they found the problem,
admitted it, and gave a $5 credit to calm the masses.
