B.K. and Christine-- Given B.K.'s nagging “what have I missed?” after careful consideration and installation of the fixes and Christine's comments re: the product manager's earger, young, full of er, uh...technical details assistant who suggested that we all run the Analyzer tool "around December 1st," I think I'll wait and wait and wait...Now I am just one person with one home-based PC with minimal to moderate professional use of my Microst products by comparison. But, I suspect I am not alone. Here on the homefront the hubby and I have been fighting the battle of "Do we upgrade?" because we are running Win '95 on a two year old multi-media box. My position has been no, No, NO!!! Trust me...We'll have Win '95 something close to compliant before all is said and done! I was counting on an EDS type trump on Microst in spite of what my hubby's ol' college buddy in Seattle was telling us...And all it took was 100,000 computers. (My hubby was pretty smug in the knowledge that all he had to do was "wait her out." He forgot that I used to do "professionally" to large corporations and other institutions just what EDS did to Microst.) The waiting game seems to have been the winning game in this battle for the small user. But as Christine's CIO indicated time's up...and a lot of "goodwill" has been used up. There will be hell to pay over this. I don't think Microst can afford to pick up the tab...and I'm not talking about the legal costs. Just remember it "seems like they aren't quite done finding those Y2K problems and creating patches" just yet. And hey, who knows?...if there's enough bad-ass law firms out there still running Win 3.1 Mircos**t may announce it is working on y2k fixes for that too. <ggg>
