No Major Bugs Encountered by Y2K Committee

Throughout 1999, the university's Year 2000 Committee made preparations to ensure that the transition to the new millennium was a smooth one. These preparations included upgrading the university's mainframe and operating system, and testing campus operating systems and research equipment to ensure they were Y2K compliant. Any instruments that did not meet the requirements were replaced where money was available. To ensure that no problems with heating systems occurred, new computer controls for many of the systems at the Fort Garry campus were purchased.

When the millennium finally arrived, only a few minor problems were reported. All major problems were averted through the committee's careful preparations.
