ATTENTION ATEC FOLLOWERS:
I have just received a call from one of my Technical Consultants, and was informed that 45% of ALL PCs will have to be THROWN OUT because of the Y2K problem. This effects ATEC in 2 ways: A. ATEC fixes the Y2K compliance problem, they make money. B. Atec sells PCs and integration systems, they make money. WIN-WIN situations. My kind of deal. Does anyone doubt that ATECs' future is not BRITE? I better buy new sunglasses!

So when I toss out my non Y2K compliant Dell, Gateway or Compaq, ATEC gets my business??? Where are Bill, Jumper, Sid etc when you really need them?

P.S. I just noticed someone called him on this and he printed somewhat of a retraction. Interesting thread, though. The best part is the large insider sell right around the time the stock went through the roof-- and before it fell back to earth.
