Solving The Y2K Problem

MEMO:

Corporate has determined that there is no longer any need for network or
software applications support.  The goal is to remove all computers from the
desktop by Jan 1999.  Instead, everyone will be provided with an Etch-A-Sketch.

Expected improvements:

1. No Y2K problems
2. No technical glitches keeping work from being done.
3. No more wasted time reading and writing emails.

Frequently Asked Questions for Etch-A-Sketch Technical Support:
