All Systems Reported OK, Functioning In ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥-Boulder's Initial Y2K Inventory
The University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ at Boulder passed the Y2K rollover without a whimper this morning, ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ officials reported at about 12:30 a.m.
"So far as we know at this time, all major systems appear to be normal and functioning as they should be," said Tom Carney, emergency management coordinator for ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥-Boulder.
According to Carney, initial reports showed that utility, mechanical and electrical systems were functioning properly. A more comprehensive inventory of campus labs and computers will be made by mid-morning Saturday before an assessment is given to campus administrators.
Systems at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics, which operated two NASA satellites through the Y2K rollover, apparently had no Y2K-related problems, according to researcher Sean Ryan at LASP.
ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ 65 ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ staff and administrators were working through the Y2K rollover at midnight and another 200 or more staff members were on call to report to campus should problems occur due to Y2K.
Carney and other Y2K command staff members monitored Y2K activity throughout the world on Friday via broadcast media reports and the World Wide Web.
