Y 2 K
Our staff has completed the 18 months of work on time and on budget.
We have gone through every line of code in every program in every system. We
have analyzed all databases, all data files, including backups and historic
archives, and modified all data to reflect the change. We are proud to
report that we have completed the "Y-to-K" date change mission, and have now
implemented all changes to all programs and all data to reflect your
new standards:
Januark, Februark, March, April, Mak, June, Julk, August, September,
October, November, December
As well as: Sundak, Mondak, Tuesdak, Wednesdak, Thursdak, Fridak, Saturdak
I trust that this is satisfactory, because to be honest, none of this Y to K
problem has made any sense to me. But I understand it is a global problem,
and our team is glad to help in any way possible. And what does the year 2000
have to do with it? Speaking of which, what do you think we ought to do next year
when the two digit year rolls over from 99 to 00? We'll await your direction.
