In my opinion I found that RTC test misleading! RE: techstocks.com Or am I missing something here?

David: Couldn't agree with you more re: the focus on the real time clock problem. I heard Karl Feilder for the first time last spring. He was on a panel. I softballed him a question for the crowd. "At what point do you recommend to your clients that they buy a new PC as a way of addressing Y2K problems?" It was such fun. His ears started smoking. He essentially said that the other four layers (O/S, apps, data, shared data) were where the problems are. And RTC problems can actually be fixed with a patch in most cases. A free patch. "It's a total waste of money to buy a new PC". Wonder how many corporations have totally wasted money? I've been working away on my Microsoft research. You'd think that someone would be focusing on the fact that they still don't have a Y2K clean operating system for all of those PCs! Layer two. Calling layer two. Christine
