I think you are correct Cheeky
Good article today in Barrons regarding this topic. Things could slow down for new computers in the second half of 99. The point the article made which I agree with, larger computers are not the hold back right now, bandwidth is.

Cheeky Kid, I tend to disagree with your assessment of the
effect of Y2K on computer manufacturers (one of whom I
work for). Most of the money companies are spending to become
Y2K compliant is spent on upgrading/fixing the software
and not on hardware upgrades. In fact once Y2K passes,
more money should get diverted in IT/MIS departments
from Y2K compliance programs to new hardware
purchases, so my expectation is exactly the reverse
of yours.
