No links I know of. However, at the annual meeting this spring the question was asked of Roy Whitfield and he responded that they didn't think it was an issue because all of their computer equipment and software is new within the very recent past, but that they would be discussing it at the board meeting and that the systems would be checked out thoroughly. My gut feeling is that if INCY gets effected, then everyone with a computer is screwed. INCY has VERY modern equipment and software, most (especially the dbase critical stuff) acquired in the past two years, and virtually all of it in the last 4 years or so. If you can't trust stuff that new, then turn out the lights and we can all rely on campfires for heat and light (burning stock certificates) and our Y2K gardens and the local rodent and pet supply for food (lots of squirrels in my walnut trees and the cats are a nuisance anyway). Hmmmm, Parrot soup, I think my wife would be in favor of that - she hates their screaming anyway. The only older computers at INCY (like 486 and early Pentiums) control either specific lab equipment that is not critical, the security system (which has a manual override ie. metal keys), or stuff totally irrelevant. Don't sweat it. Rman
