Subject:        Y2K Customer nuts?

I have a customer who has just told me that they cannot afford the $500K it
will take to upgrade all of their software/hardware (AS/400, PC's, Retail
store Cash registers, store controllers, etc.).

They want to know if they can just set the date back on their /400.  The
controller knows of people who are going to do this.  They want me to test
this on another 400.

I can do this, just wondering if anyone has any serious reason why you can't
do this?

I know things like reports will show wrong dates, etc.  But they don't seem
to bother the customer.  I think they are crazy.  What do you think?
