Tower will be changing the minimum supported OS for Digital Unix (now called Tru64) from 3.x to 4.0e and for IBM AIX from 3.x to 4.3.3. These changes are necesitated by Y2K and vendor support for the older version of the operating systems.
If you have any questions on this change, feel free to contact us.
Here are a couple of WindowsNT related Q/A's from our support team that might prove helpful:
Here is a humorous self-inflicted look at Tower Concepts' passing into the new century. 10. Can I open my eyes now?
9. What am I going to do with all of this canned food and bottled water I've been stocking up over the last 6 months?
8. Does this mean that we can finally drop support for the Commadore 64? BTW, the 64 doesn't mean 64-bit addressing does it?
7. ...muffled voices... I knew it was going to work all along!
6. You said support could leave at midnight, but you didn't say midnight *Hawaii time*!
5. Does this mean we can't blame problems on Y2K any more?
4. Geez, how many Y2K-related operating system patches can there be anyway? Arrrrrrrrgh!!!!
3. [Support staff] Rats, the phones and e-mail still work :-(
2. Now is this the start of the new millenium or is it next year?
1. January 1st, 2037 is still going to be interesting. But [hee hee] everyone reading this will be retired by then
This month's puzzler...
The search for the infamous Northwest Passage had proved most elusive. It wasn't until 1906 that Roald Amundsen followed the Canadian coast to Cape Nome, Alaska, that an official passage was finally declared. Ironically, however, the first ship to actually traverse the Northwest Passage was the Octavius nearly 150 years earlier. In 1762, the Octavius was frozen in, north of Alaska, and was forced to wait out the winter. Thirteen years later, in 1775, she and her crew were hailed off the coast of Greenland. Since the Octavius was more than 100 years ahead of Amundsen, why weren't they credited with this famous discovery?
