Paul, Y2K was not the only upgrade motivator but it was the primary one. My conclusion is based on the fact that Novell 3.12 is the most popular version among my clients and it requires a "patch" to be Y2K compatible. Several clients also mentioned that they were told that their servers were not Y2K compliant and added words like "as long as we have to buy a new server, we thought we'd upgrade the network software too". Once the hardware guy arrived, old 486 workstations with Windows 3.1 must have been easy prey. Craig

Paul,Initial Impression continues PentiumIII\ a limp dick\ chip. Paul you have done nothing, said nothing, show nothing to dispell the initial reaction of the pros that at best the PentiumIII is a limp dick chip. Nothing more than warmed over technology extention of PentiumII. It may have some chance of sucess from the spent marketing budget put from a pure technological point of view it is a significant non event. Meanwhile the K-6-3/ is showing bone/.
