Let me see if I can slip this in before we blow the daily posting limit for HP3000-L :-) Am I the only one who thinks that August 1998 is a little late to be crowing about Year 2000 compliance? I don't think this is something that we should be spending a lot of effort to point out at this time. Maybe some oblique reference to "of *course* it's year 2000 compliant" but in general I think it's time to start looking beyond the year 2000 thing, which is one way of putting the 3000 not only up *to* the new millennium, but clearly *into* the *next* 1000 years.
