"The Salomon IT manager .......will purchase 2,500 PCs to replace noncompliant BIOS chips....."

Yep. I've written here (somewhere on SI) previously that there are about 100 pc's in the small hospital where I work. Almost all will have to be replaced in order to prevent conflict with the network server/software. If this is repeated across similar organizations, then a lot of boxes will be sold circa y2k.
