Allo!
 GB>>  Maximus is not an "ISLAND". It's have to interact with others
 GB>> softwares,  it's can't live by itself, in his small bubble. Sorry.
 GG> Look, I'm going to make this official, and public.
 GG> You come in here and do the "Chicken Little" act ("the 
 GG> sky is falling, the
 GG> sky is falling!") about Maximus and the year 2000, 
 GG> making dire predictions.
 I never do that, sorry to contredict. I just tell, "I encounter
 some Year 2000 problem with Maximus!". Not more, not less.
 I never do any prediction of END OF THE CIVILISATION related to
 Year 2000, NEVER HERE and somewhere else.
 Some others YEAR 2000 "Guru" made that kind of prediction, but not me.
 I have enough confidence in the Human Brain to passthrough the
 YEAR 2000 chalange with the minimum of fear, trouble and preparation.
 You and Scott, just give a good exemple of the kind of
 "NOT MY FAULT, OTHER PARTY FLAULT" game we will encounter in the next
 4-5 years.
 GG> That's all fine, but when Scott answers you and, in 
 GG> good faith, asks you to
 GG> simply provide him with repeatable and verifiable 
 GG> circumstances where this
 GG> occurs so he can look into it, you claim you're too 
 GG> busy and that his "beta
 GG> team" should check into it.
 With the kind of reception you give to me, it's hard to devote some
 time to Maximus and do some beta testing, very hard.
 GG> Now, you weren't too busy to "find" this "2000 bug", 
 GG> but then you can't be
 GG> "bothered" to produce anything for Scott to look at??  Uh-huh.  Ok.
 I point some "problem" and receive the following!
 Question:  expiration date
 Answer:    Just enter 102 for 2002 and so on.
 Question:  Header corrupt when Bluewave upload Year 2000 packet
 Answer:    See Bluewave, not Maximus problem
 Question: What the funny date generate by doorsys
 Answer:   none.
      
 GG> The "year 2000" topic is off topic, UNLESS you want to 
 GG> provide some sort of
 Take a break. Year 2000 problem are here for the next 4-5 years
 and you will face it, like it or not.
 GG> repeatable, verifiable evidence of a problem, and that problem MUST be
 GG> within Maximus -itself-, NOT some 3rd-party 
 GG> program/util.  If you have some
 GG> problem within a 3rd party program, pester -that- author, but not in 
his
 GG> echo.
 I point the same to Bluewave, and don't received any reply, what
 more can I tell to you. Send your registration card to Bluewave.
 GG> This thread can end right now.
 Not until 2002, sorry to desapoint you. The next Year 2000 "morron"
 will probably point the same, and probably worst "problem". Just
 be prepare.
 Au plaisir
