It means that any -NEW- computer purchased now -SHOULD- be free and clear of
the year 2K virus. It is always a wise thing to ask about this. IF the
salesman does not know if the machine/product is clear of the problem, then DO
NOT purchase it. If the salesman doesn't even know about the Year 2K Problem,
leave the store...
