Don't know about the "year 2000" problem but I must certainly ask.
It's the hardware which has fallen in price.
We've subsequently discovered (from the new VAMP rep) that we're entitled to
a copy of their "Appointments" program for free (rather than at #1k) as we
had signed the 1993 maintenance contract, and we've also noted we already
have the tape-streamer they had included in the quote. At this rate we might
actually be able to afford the system one day!

Steve
