Why not? We know where all the Athenized SGI's are from our
database, and we can just do a concerted push, warning people of
the consequences if they don't take the update. People are aware
that Y2K is a problem in general, so it won't look as if we're
just incompetent if we provide them with a solution and say that
they have to take it.
There may be something that I haven't thought of, in which case
I'm open to being convinced.
