Hello. I just happened to call Perseptive Bio yesterday
and I was told the same line: the equipment is obsolete
and they may or may not test the system for Year 2000
compliance. A quick and dirty test is to set your computer's
clock to sometime during the year 2000 and see what your
reports look like. The only thing I did with the 9050
software was to print out the sample run and log. Regards,
Tom
