Mike,
Thanks for the explanation. I kinda figured that's what you'd say. -g- I'm a little surprised that you don't give 'IT types' a little more credit. Afterall, most, if not all computer science majors are required to take at least one course in logic. -g-
"I am just using logic. A new pc box does not fix your problem, as your database and all of your programs are still infected. If you fix the programs and databases, at a high cost, you then have less money to waste on useless crap."
One possible flaw in your argument is the implicit assumption that if one changes out the 'programs and databases' you will end up with the same hardware requirements. I think that most would agree that, at least in the Microsoft world, it is a given that the newer the software application the more bloated it becomes - both in terms of resident memory requirements as well as pure processing power. This, in turn, should necessitate the introduction of more powerful, and thus newer hardware to run these Y2K compliant 'programs and databases'.
Does this make any sense?
