[QUOTE="Tony S, post: 492679, member: 20864"] I’m convinced the Y2K panic was deliberately started by IT consultants to boost trade. Our companies IT department certainly panicked the plant management by saying they hadn’t the time to check all the process control gear. I got lumbered with the job and couldn’t find any problems. The proof came when the plant started perfectly after the 99/00 Christmas shutdown. A year later the IT department caused absolute chaos by replacing DOS6-2 on all the plant PC’s with Windows 95 corporate. I told them not to do it, they ignored me and the plant didn’t restart on time. I had rewrite the config file on every plant PC. [/QUOTE]
