Judy,


Key issue is why would corporations be spending money on servers when they need to divert funds to resolve the yr2k problem next year.


Probably they could do both and get away. Y2K problems and fixes can be taken as an expense and this one time charge will not occur again for another 8002 years. The management in these companies may be confident that investing community will ignore this expense and concentrate on the fundamentals.

Maybe a move to a Unix-based system such as Sun's and away from proprietary legacy systems is the way some companies will resolve their y2k problem. Just a thought.

Solaris for Merced, anyone?
