We recommend that you use Netscape 3.0 or 4.0, as full functionality is not available from other browsers. At the login screen, simply enter your NetID and password.

Notes on the "Year 2000 Problem (Y2K)"

Yale Information Technology Services (ITS) is committed to minimizing any Y2K impact on faculty computers. Based on extensive preparations by those responsible for institutional systems at Yale and in the community, Yale's Y2K Project Team is not expecting any serious problems or disruptions.

Extensive information on assessing your Year 2000 risk and identifying remedial options for hardware and software are available on both the Faculty Support Program web site at http://www.yale.edu/fsp and the ITS web site at http://www.yale.edu/year2000

As general precaution, backup your data and avoid having any deadline-sensitive work to accomplish in the first few days of January. Unplug your non-essential office and home computers to protect against damaging power surges. While Macintosh computers running basic desktop software are not expected to have serious Y2K problems., PC-compatible computers will be affected in various ways that are difficult to predict. See the FSP web site for details.

If you experience problems with your office computer within the first week of the new year, follow the standard procedure of contacting your local Departmental Computing Consultant.
