the lesson of the sendsys is that after a 24 or 36 hour period of continuous wakefulness, sean and alan and the rest are going to have to SLEEP. *that* will be the time when some perfectly normal event like a route spew or heavy flap or genetic IOS defect will make itself known, and *that* will be the time when Y2K finally kicks us all in the head. not because of the date change, but because everybody stayed awake too long and upset their normal vigilence.
Agreed. That's the very reason I didn't want all of our operations staff to be overseeing the changeover since I didn't think it was necessary. As an ISP that caters to business customers we probably won't be made aware of any issues until Monday.
