Thread Name: BS: Do YOU know what the Y2K bug is?
Subject: RE: BS: Do YOU know what the Y2K bug is?
Maybe this is the answer.....

Corporate has defined a lower cost alternative for Desktop conversions that also addresses the Y2K (Year 2000) issue: The goal is to remove all computers from the desktop by December, 1999. Instead, everyone will be provided with an Etch-A-Sketch. There are many sound reasons for doing this:

1. No Y2K problems. 2. No technical glitches, keeping work from being done. 3. No more wasted time reading and writing e-mails. 4. Substantial hardware cost savings.

Frequently asked questions from the Etch-A-Sketch help desk:
