True. Same goes for early (and not so early?) Pentiums. Too bad Microfirmware isn't publicly traded; we've been giving them a lot of business lately.

I agree with the rule of thumb. When you have thousands of computers to check it's usually cost effective to draw a line in the sand replace those below it (a 66 isn't very useful today anyway). Then exert the manpower to check the marginal computers for y2k compliance.

Like I said, we did that in 1998.
