We knew that mankind, with his clever mind, would come up with a solution to the Y2K computer problem looming ever closer on the horizon. We can finally sit back and relax knowing that great minds will always prevail.
Here is one company's proposal:
Corporate has defined a lower cost alternative to the ongoing studies surrounding the Y2K (Year 2000) issue: The goal is to remove all computers from the desktop by Jan, 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 email.
4. Serves as a laptop, so more work can be done at home and while traveling.
