Jason,

Our soldering equipment manufacturer is one who is wanting to charge $200 to
receive a disk with a fix-it file on it that is then installed onto the
computer and will automatically run the first time the equipment is
activated after Dec 31, 1999 11:59PM.

You don't want to know my response! It was language that is not appropriate
for the Internet!!!

I am going to be expecting (and I better see and receive) to see a supply of
these so call $200 disks available for pickup at NEPCON later this month!!

They are the only one of our equipment manufacturers that has this nerve.

Good luck.
