Egypt, where no political issue can go without a joke, didn't have a different situation. Jokes aside, the Egyptian business sector had a happy feeling. A senior technology officer in the National Bank of Egypt said he and his staff spent Saturday to run virtual operations throughout the 340 branches of this bank. Clients were actually received on Sunday morning with systems operating in good conditions. Some minor glitches were present in the Palestinian-held West Bank and Gaza, however, as there were difficulties in display and printing features in computer systems at some municipalities.
Systems affected include inventory, billing systems, and some databases.
Another minor glitch occurred in the Web server of Jordan's official news agency, Petra , which showed Saturday and Sunday as being 100 years ahead. Later on Sunday, the glitch was fixed. Wired Digital Inc. All rights reserved.
