Hello everybody,
Just a quickie from the Langa List.....

More on "Y2K BS"
Last issue's article on Y2K BS (see
http://www.langa.com/newsletters/Jul-06-99.htm#y2k ) also
generated some excellent reader mail, but this was a lot
more serious than the for-fun PT Barnum information.

Worse than Y2K test programs that claim you
need to buy the "retail" version are the folks
trying to hawk the plug-in ISA cards that claim to
fix the Y2K problem. Reading their web pages, most
people will think that their life/data is at risk
if they don't buy the card.
There are *free* Downloadable Y2K O/S
drivers available. Below are three that I've
found. So, for those folks that have a non-Y2K
complaint system, perhaps one of these free
drivers will keep them going without having to
spend their $$$ for a "commercial"
program.

Thanks, Jeff!

I think it's about time to be really careful if you're thinking of buying a used 'puter. While some people say Y2K isn't a problem, it could still be a major pain in the ***.
