You can't have it both ways. Either Y2K spurs hardware sales or it doesn't. First you say it will spur sales because of the need for a Y2K compliant infrastructure. This is a bogus argument because Y2K compliancy comes from software, not hardware. Second you say that Y2K will not spur hardware sales because companies have limited IT personnel and the personnel will not have time to oversee both a hardware upgrade and a fix of the Y2K bug. This makes sense. I would add that companies have limited IT budgets which will be exhausted by fixing the Y2K bug.
