<Please post facts Cheryl !!!> <It is true that some older products are not going to be made Y2K compliant.> I did sweetheart. The FACT is that *International Herald Tribune* wrote, yesterday .... [all I did was cut & paste]. THE INTERNET MAY BE THE BIGGEST QUESTION MARK OF THEM ALL Paris - August 17, 1999 - International Herald Tribune ... One thing is clear: Many of the basic elements of the Internet - components that go by names such as routers and switches - have been identified as 'noncompliant ' and thus could malfunction if they are not fixed or replaced before the new year arrives ... Cisco Systems Inc., the world's leading Internet component supplier, lists 25 products on its Web site cisco.com that are not compliant and a further 31 that the company does not plan on testing because it regards them as too old to be serviced. Some of these products were sold as recently as three years ago. Many are still in use. If you don't like what International Herald Tribune is writing, email them. They're on the net. They reach a much broader audience than I do. Cheryl
