Jim - after all Compaq sold me a non-Y2K compliant computer CPQ computers have been Y2K compliant across the board since mid-1997 - except that if the OS (say a microsoft OS, for example) has its own Y2K problems, there is only so much the computer itself can do to fix the problem. I have been monitoring the MSFT Y2K pages for a while and they seem to finally be getting their house in order. They at first tried to get the computer OEMs to "fix everything" - except that turned out to be impossible given some of MSFT's problems. Then MSFT said they would fix NT and Win98 but not Win95 - except they still ship Win95 on some government contracts and so they had to fix that also. The Win95 fix just happened this month. But unless your CPQ machine was built before July of 1997, it is as Y2K compliant as it is possible to be.
