100 Year Old Juries in the Keystone State

by Dave Murphy
ISSN 1535-3613

Dave Murphy, DGL President & ITrain founder About 500 Pennsylvanians got notices ordering them to report for jury duty in 1900.

Either the Jury Commissioner's folks can't type or they were bitten by the Y2K bug. As it turns out it was a Y2K glitch, and it's been fixed.

I've been warning computer users for almost two decades about the potential for Y2K problems, as have thousands of computer experts worldwide. It's sad that this had to happen, and I'm not normally one to poke fun at other's expense, but this is a perfect example of the type of problems most of us will experience.

I'm not so worried about planes falling from the sky or nuclear disasters. I'm betting that the Y2K transition will be more like a pain in the neck for most of us: electronic watches that don't work, older PCs that give wrong answers to common mathematical formulae. Nothing major, just a lot of little hassles.
