Compaq understands
that its customers wish to be well prepared for the transition
to the Year 2000. To address that need, Compaq has engaged the
world's leading independent information technology testing
organization, NSTL, to
test its x86-based commercial and consumer desktop PCs,
portable PCs, servers and workstations for Year 2000
readiness. NSTL's unique real-world methodologies and
benchmarks are the global standards for IT testing. After
undergoing NSTL's rigorous testings, Compaq products were the
first in the world to be eligible to carry the NSTL Tested
Year 2000 Hardware Compliant logo.
Compaq realizes the importance its customers place on
having Year 2000 compliant products and pledges to provide
this. Includes Digital- and Tandem- brand product information.
To emphasize its commitment, Compaq states that any current
Compaq commercial and consumer desktop PCs, portable PCs,
servers and workstations purchased on or after October 7, 1997
(the Compaq Year 2000 Compliance Program announcement date)
failing to pass the YMARK2000 test, will be treated by Compaq
as a defect covered under its limited product warranty,
subject to warranty limitations. Please refer to product
documentation for a full statement of Compaq's limited product
warranty.
