The Y2K problem is beingm dealt with at the network level more than at the PC level in my work area, we have not bought corporate PC's for 6 months and will not until the business picks up. All companies are trying to improve the bottom line by reducing expences, Intel buying less capital equipment, AMAT not buying PC's. Most large corporations upgrade during product improvements so the corporate buying will come from the smaller companies and be small I believe. The government can't make a big decision so there PC buys will most likely be sporadic, no large orders. JMO
