Agreed
I worked at Worthing hospital and a lot of time was spent updating all the old (486 era) computers with bioses, as well as the servers, which were also DX 100mhz models, heh
Not to mention all the windows updates (Windows 95/3.11)
I don't think they wanted to take the risk incase the medical systems stopped working come 2000, especially considering how they were based on Access 2.0 databases
