I just got out of a strange meeting and was wondering if someone could comment on the following information. Our company controller has circulated inventory sheets in which we are to list all office/lab products that have "chips" & therefore might be susceptible to the 1999-2000 "bug" two years from now. Apparently our attorneys want to start compiling this list to head off unknown litigation that could occur if unspecified equipment fails.

My question pertains to the following: We use both modern PC's and Apple computers routinely. However, our inventory list states that only the PC/Intel computers are to be noted since it is our understanding that the Apple computers use four digit date instructions in their line code.

Is this true? Does this approaching panic actually only applying to Intel based PC's? I really don't know the answer to this question, I'm just trying to find if our controller has his facts straight.
