Cheeky -

Blowing things out of proportion again I see.

Depends how one looks at it...

From what I've seen over the past 4 years, the possibility that 'new' PCs could have Y2K issues came as quite a shock to many people. To this day, most discussions of PCs & Y2K seem to center around the BIOS/RTC and then maybe the operating system (MSFT mostly). Very, very, very little talk of the applications running on these boxes.

And then if you're further down the food chain like Bill Peavey (and a few million compatriot SMEs) the chances of you're running current hardware/OS/application are very close to zero.

Now please to tell me how/why this is NOT a problem?
