>I think you are right about the cos you see, but wrong about the larger cos. I don't believe Dell's #1 customer, Boeing, is buying extra pcs while laying off people. And on down the line.

I agree, companies will avoid buying "extra pcs". But if they have a bunch of older, non-Y2K compliant machines, replacing them with new machines is likely to be the cheapest and quickest solution. As Richard said, the hardware costs are negligible compared to the labor costs.
