One large corporation has defined a lower cost alternative for Desktop
conversions
that also addresses the Y2K (Year 2000) issue: Their 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.
4. Substantial hardware cost savings.
Frequently Asked Questions from the Etch-A-Sketch Help Desk:

the screen. What do I do?

Warning: This is proprietary information. Do not let this fall into Bill Gates
or
MicroSofts hands or they will buy Etch-A-Sketch and once again, we are at
their mercy.
