Howdy,
Since it is now February 17, 2000, and the world has not dissolved into a heap of melted silicon (darn!), I thought it would be okay to remove the long "Y2K" notes clogging up the Version part of the Product Support Sheets. (As usual, I'm referring to the latest test version, starting from http://training.mit.edu/products/test.html.)
If you now look at a product listing, note that the "Y2K Compliant?" column is still there, but the long paragraphs are gone. In their place is a little link that says "(more)" (if there is more). This link pops up a little window that gives the Y2K stuff. (This uses JavaScript -- on non-JS browsers, it simply links in the usual way.) The popup window lets you print the data, but otherwise holds it as a "I just needed a quick look" kind of thing -- it's not a full-fledged browser window. If you don't close the window but go ahead and click on another y2k "(more)" link, it uses the same little window.
I hope this is a good way to get rid of the Y2K stuff while still keeping it accessible.
Let me know what you think (e.g., at our meeting!).
