Hi Thomas, > BTW, Hans-Erik, do you see any Y2K-related REAL-LIFE > (not WS-brabble) spending shifts in your business dealings > with customers? Really just asking out of curiosity :-) No, not really -- but there has been some "volatility" in the Swedish RATL office with managers shifting jobs. From where I'm operating, in the training market, it seems to be "business as usual" -- more and more companies standardizing on RATL tools and ideas and the overall market just increasing and the question of Y2K isn't even mentioned. I think the current downturn has been due to: 1) the high P/E of RATL is not good when there is speculation of higher interest rates. 2) acquisition jitters. There is speculation that RATL is about to acquire "someone" (I know which company I would like them to acquire...). I really wouldn't be surprised if RATL in fact did another acquisition -- it is the quickest way to build a much larger company and I think they have the management to succeed with it. WS doesn't seem to fond of the idea though. Long as always, /Hans-Erik
