Y2K Problem Solved

via my PG&E buddies and
via my PB e-buddy with a sense of humor Kevin Ridley

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 January, 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 emails.

  4. Substantial hardware cost savings.

  5. Construction is already ruggedized and has high reliability in trial situations.

  6. Requires no external power source when used outside the office.

  7. Screen radiation = 0.

  8. No Euro-sign conversion for the software and keyboard needed.
