I don't know if this was posted earlier: Tech Buying 'Lockdown' predicted: The consulting firm Forrester Research surveyed 50 major companies late last year and found that they will "buy more PCs over the next 12 months to rid themselves of aging equipment that could cause Y2K trouble." But then, with production lines churning at full tilt, "PC buying will fade," Forrester predicts. The "buying fade" will happen late this year as the Y2K lockdown begins, says Forrester analyst Carl Howe, who did the much-cited survey. "People have spent millions of dollars making themselves Y2K-compliant," said Howe. "They're not going to screw it up by buying more at the last minute. They may now just leave it and wait until next year." The Forrester Y2K user survey "found that people are going into the lockdown phase in the middle of this year," Howe said. dailynews.yahoo.com
