=) Hi David (and Joe, too) -- to clarify the FBN 'scenario', we're poking fun at situations which are really happening in the 'Serious Y2K' industry. Zitel, for example, has mentioned the use of actual 'mobile code converion vehicles'. Another firm advertises, "We'll fix your software without even having the source code." Most everything you see at the FBN thread is actually taking place with actual companies swindling actual dollars from investors. Yep, there's some serious scams in that part of the tech sector.

We're justing having a bit of fun with it -- and attempting to raise some investor awareness, too. There happen to be some 'legitimate' firms doing Y2K work (CA, DMR, et al.). I would guesstimate that they're out-numbered by about 3:1.

Please consider FBN for its entertainment (and awareness) value only.
-MrB
