Only 5% of all programs needed changing for Y2K? I think we had to modify at least half of our programs. Unfortuneatly, we didn't change many of the old OS/VS Cobol to a current version of Cobol. I tried to sell them on that, but failed miserably.
I have XP on my home computer, and have had nothing but trouble. I haven't found one program that doesn't work with XP, but I've had more problems with XP than I ever had with Windows 95. In the last week, it started rebooting again 2 to 3 times per session. If I leave for 4 hours, and leave the computer turned on, I come back and the screen is all warped and twisted, and the only thing I can do is hit reset, which actually shuts down XP. I've reloaded XP once myself, and the 2nd time when I couldn't even reboot the machine, I paid the company I bought the PC from about $100 to reload windows and give the machine a complete hardware check. I know others have reported on the IBM-Main list that they have had great luck with XP. I wish I could say the same.
