THE ETCH-A-SKETCH FAQ

A lower cost alternative for solving the Y2K (Year 2000) compliance issue has been identified:

The goal is to remove all computers from the desktop by December 1999. Instead, everyone will be provided with an Etch-A-Sketch. There are many sound reasons for doing this:

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