Y2K- problem?...

A company of experts was asked to help an insurance company: how to avoid irretrievable damage to the computer system due to the Y2K problem. These are the experts findings:

Our staff has completed the 18 months of work on time and on budget. We have gone trough every line of code in every program in every system. We have analysed 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 "Y2K" 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, Wednedak, Thursdak, Fridak, Saturdak.

We trust that this is satifactory because, to be honest, none of this "Y to K" problem has made any sense to us. But we understand that it is a global problem and our team is glad to help in any way possible. Besides that, we still did not figure out what the year 2000 has 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.
