RE: CSCO

You said:

>>Cisco Systems Inc., the world's leading Internet component supplier, lists 25 products on its Web site cisco.com that are not compliant and a further 31 that the company does not plan on testing because it regards them as too old to be serviced. Some of these products were sold as recently as three years ago. Many are still in use ... <<

I learned from my source:

> Cisco has been on a campaign for two years now to make sure that all of our customers have either upgraded their existed equipment or replaced old equipment with new Y2K compliant equipment. If they won't do one of these two things, they are asked to sign a document that indicates that CSCO has warned them of a potential problem.

It is true that some older products are not going to be made Y2K compliant.

CSCO actually views the Y2K thing as an PR opportunity to show how loyal we are to our customers. Anyone that has any customer responsibility (Account Manager, Systems Engineers, Tech Support and Product Managers) are on call to a specific customer just to add a level of comfort. Other departments are volunteering because we get paid and we know we won't have to do anything. <


Please post facts Cheryl !!!
