About Y2k;

- the "legacy"-software is one part of the problem, the biggest
problem however is the so called "embedded software",
- although only a very small portion of the billions of machineries
will fail, consequences can (and will) be big.
- PC's are not per definition Y2k-compliant, even recent models,
- IRS needs to make 130.000 PC's Y2k-compliant. They expect problems
to make it before 1 jan 2000
- there also is a problem with the fact that 2000 is a leap-year
- the expected costs to solve the Y2k-problem are constantly
increasing
- don't forget about the tremendous (and increasing) shortage of
IT-personel
- it will be a nightmare, one way or the other
- but I don't think it will seriously hurt Dell
