Re: Next Meeting Sept. 20 (Yes we are having one!)

[Matthew MacCrimmon <macc@siu.edu>]

how about i bring a debian box that i am trying to turn into a ppp server?

this is a box that Mark set up shortly before he left for Florida.  it
worked right after install but is now being rather recalcitrant.  if anyone
is interested, i can send you the root password and you can look at it
anytime.  it's currently at 131.230.35.4 and has a modem connected at
453-5725.

Year 2000

While some non-Mac computer applications and operating systems cannot
correctly process dates after Dec. 31, 1999, the Mac OS and most Mac
applications will handle the year 2000 (and the next 27,940 years), no
problem.  In fact, the Mac has been able to properly handle dates past 1999
since the introduction of the Macintosh computer in 1984.

Moreover, Macintosh users can party like it's 1999 until at least 29,940
because Mac OS correctly handles dates from 30,081 B.C. to 29,940 A.D.  In
addition, Mac OS also handles leap years correctly.

To find out how to test your system for Year 2000 compatibity, leap year
compatibity and more, see <http://www.apple.com/about/year2000/>.
