Tony, I thought you said that Y2K was overblown? You ain't seen nothing yet. I hope IBM has a big team of attorneys... Do you know how much litigation costs the GNP every year in this country? It's been estimated at 10% (U of Texas study a few years back)...I wonder what will happen to that after Y2K? Canada has passed a law saying you can't sue over Y2K issues...so has the USA....but only for 90 days...a gift to the lawyers by lawyers...Congress... Jim

Tony - Re: "There it is...Netfinity is a Xeon based Windows NT server. It got IBM's top marks" Good detective work !!! That jibes with Microsoft's POSITIVE comments on Intel Server Platforms. I hope the idiot analysts can some how bring their feeble brains to figure out that IBM's Mainframe/Y2K problem is an IBM problem - not an Intel problem. Paul
