MEMORANDUM

Subject: Year 2K Solved

The Office of Institutional Computing 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 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 emails, playing Solitaire et cetera.
4. Substantial hardware cost savings.
