You might wanna block these
days not to travel abroad.
Some organisations, MNCs and statutory boards have issued warning to
their staff to avoid travelling by air/sea on the following dates as a
precautionary measure :
a) 9/4/99 (the 99th day of the the Year 99 (9999))
b) 21/8/99-22/8/99 (the roll-over date of the Global Positioning System)
c) 9/9/99 and 10/9/99 (the "99" and "9999" digits are used as
"never
expire" dates in some computer programs, hence
programs may fail
immediately after that date )
d)31/12/99 and 1/1/2000 (the roll-over to the new Millennium)
e)28/2/2000-1/3/2000 (Year 2000 is a leap year. As many programmers have
been incorrectly taught that the year 2000 is not a leap
year,some systems
may not be able to handle the transition to the 29th day of
February 2000.
Please disseminate this information to your staff
including overseas
postees. It is advisable to be safe than sorry.
