search and replace all "19"s with "20"s  he he he

Or simply change it to Windows 1900.

They can just do a serach and replace routine on the code. I hear that someone
serached for "Microsoft" in all of the documentation on Windows 95, and the help
files and all that... replaced every one of them with "M$" and found 14MB of
extra space had been made available to him...

Probably an urban legend, but it would be fun if it was true

Far easier to just delete all the documentation.  None of it's useful anyway...

May I suggest getting rid of the "troubleshooters" first. The purest form of
wasted space I've ever seen. The hovercraft example pales in comparson.

LOL!  Look at the date on that.  In OE5 on the header pane, it shows 99.
Interestingly enough, if you double-click on the header (using OE), the year
(in the 4-number format) appears to be 2099.  Now how did THAT happen???

Ian, get OUT of this thread or I am going to send that vase to your
parents!!!

Man, this post keeps getting back at me like a curse. Ahhh...

:)

P.S. Wait until Windows 1900 comes out as this phenomenon will be
covered in the manual <grin>
