The so-called leap second was added to
electronic clocks at midnight universal time on Saturday, with Atomic
clocks reading 23 hours, 59 minutes and 60 seconds before then moving
on to Greenwich Mean Time.....whatever all that means?
It seems that the Earth is slowing down
from the effect of the tidal pull of the moon and so, periodically,
timekeepers have to adjust the official Atomic clocks. Follow that??
No questions please.
There were some unexpected glitches
soon after the adjustments were made...websites went down....QANTAS
systems shut down etc etc.
The Millennium Bug, was supposed to
create havoc with computers worldwide, but in fact nothing
significant happened. In the midst of the scare, quite a few
businesses were established offering fixes for the impending doom of
January 1, 2000.
