Re: AMD/Intel and Y2K Issues: I've heard that one of the biggest Y2K problems in desktops is the CMOS. I wonder how percentage of businesses are running DOS, Win31, 95, NT, 98? My family doctor just moved to a new office building and each office has a Windows terminal running WinFrame by Citrix systems. They are hooked up over a phone line to a remote NT server. This is a return to centralized computing. There is no local storage. No disk to crash. With a 17" monitor and a K6, these things are cheap, and Y2K compliant. How many of these things will replace PC's in the next few years? (This thing sounds like an iMac)
