Is It Leap Year Already?
Apparently getting from February to March is a bigger problem than Y2K was.
I have Caller ID, and both of the phones in my apartment have the necessary displays. What's convenient is that I don't have to program the time and date. The phones automatically get that info from the phone company.
Tonight I came home from work about 12:30 am and checked to see if there were any calls. Guess what? According to BOTH phones, it is February 29 right now. I'm wondering how widespread this is -- is it a local glitch? Is it affecting all BellSouth customers? (Yeah, technically we're now part of AT&T, but parts of the changeover is probably still being worked on.)
