Y2K hoax growing new legs. Today at the office I received a very official looking Purchase Invoice from Health Care Solutions, Inc., Sandy, Utah (never heard of them before). The Invoice requested payment for a diskette ($49.95 with a discount to $39 if paid within 30 days, plus shipping of $6) The diskette was described as follows: Year 2000 Hardware Check Diskette Includes: • Complete check of your Computer's hardware to see if it is Year 2000 compatible. • Certificate of compliance or Non-compliance when done. •If non-compliant a diagnostic printout of what is non-compliant and what to do to fix it. Please disregard this order if you do not want to check your hardware for year 2000 compliance (Y2K). OMIGOD, first there is the $600 billion Y2K software problem that is going to bring the world as we know it to a halt and now they tell me (NOW with only seven months left) that I might have a Y2K hardware problem! We're all doomed. Get out the checkbook.
