Subject: Y-to-K Compliant!!!
This was a real email sent out to a CEO by the Vice-President in charge
of
IS for a mid-size company.
Subject: BT Tel Y2K issues. Y-to-K Date Change Project Status
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
We trust that this is satisfactory, because to be honest, none of this Y
to
K problem has made any sense to us. But we 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.
just some off topic humor.
