Michael: You ask <<i have assumed that as many as 50 percent of pc s will ned to be replaced because of bad bios chips. this will result in a huge upgrade cycle that is not being talked about yet.>>

I believe that 'bad bios' chips in PCs can be fixed with software. Network Associates (NETA) announced such a product.

In addition, I have yet to see any PC manufacturer advertising 'Y2K guaranteed" new PCs. In fact, my net surfing and press contacts indicate that PCs are still being sold that fail Y2K tests.

Maybe 100% compliant PCs are not such an easy thing to create, eh?
