Jim -- the "problem" is much larger than individual PCs -- has to do with embedded systems, date sensitive software that uses two digits to calculate dates - and thus can't do proper "math" to decide on things like sending out checks, rejecting materiel as 'out-of-date' etc. Lots of places to find out more info -- RE the web, I believe most folks feel the network will run unimpeded. I have yet to personally decide how "big" a problem it is... and Franko, if you are there -- remember when you reported about the WWTP story -- I was told last night that this is an "urban legend" that the newspaper misreported the story.
