Cheeky - Remember I said this would be a benefit, updating all these old computers to faster computing power able to run high speed Internet connections. It's going to make business more effective and help the Internet grow at a faster pace. I don't want to steal your thunder, but there were others at the dawn of Y2Ktime (mid 1994) who made these observations... particularly Capers Jones. I've been meaning to ask Jones (he's one of the few software metrics experts... if you haven't read one of his books, please do so) if he's seen any evidence yet that Y2K activities have indeed forced/motivated/required enterprises to clean up their act. Other than the standard new-is-better-than-old/PCs-are-better-than-mainframes blather, can you offer something of substance, svp? Verifiable substance, please... not opinion. - David
