GoodQ -

The Application programs are not an issue unless it is a specially developed program. Most commercial applications have a life spand of two years before a new version comes out.(Who is still using DOS, WIN3.0, or Word2.o for WIN?)

You're willing to uncategorically state that some 3000 software publishers of 21,000 titles are ALL Y2Kok? That's quite a stretch.

You're also willing to state that lots & lots & lots of companies/departments/workgroups/whatever NOT using customer written applications done in VBasic, xBase, Pascal, C, etc.?

My position & experience is that there are HUGE numbers of folks who're definately using trailing edge stuff for their daily work.

There are plenty of folks who regard technology as a necessary evil. When they can pick up used Pentiums with preloaded Windows for $250 then they'll move up... grudgingly.
