>Apple II is immune from Y2K bugs!
No, it's loaded with them, at least in 8-bit. Read info at
//http:members.aol.com/A2MG - from the front page, go to our Year 2000 page. If
you are on Lynx, there's a text-version of the Y2K chart, which you can get to
by clicking on the Y2K page. This charst tell what the problems are, how
serious each one is, whether the fix can be applied now or if you have to wait
until 1/1/00, and how and where to get the fix.
AppleWorks 3.0 has two classic Y2K problems -- a hard-coded 19 in the date, and
the rejection of data entry of the year "00."
In addition to AppleWorks 1.x through and including v5.1, we also have fixes
for ProSel 8 and 16, and Karl Bunker has authorized our update of Sneeze for
2000.
