Y2K --- MIS will throw money at new hardware and software I have to agree. The most logical approach would be to replace your old PCs with new PCs --- as needed to solve Y2K problems at the desktop. That might very well create a fourth quarter like no one has ever seen as departments in every company take whatever hasn't been spent for the year in the budget and buys new PCs. New PCs will be the safest solution. Not everyone will be able to isolate the cause of desktop Y2K failures or even bother to waste the manpower. Critical apps will already have been tested and their boxes upgraded but the vast majority of on your desk PCs will be sitting there waiting for a Y2K problem to cause the owner to demand a new computer. If Intel has a nice PIII for the Fall with the latest and greatest for the office market then Intel benefits. ================ Hopefully one with a method of turning off the CPU-ID permanently.
