No matter, good job.
I'm grinning too.
There is a very interesting article on Briefing.com this moring.
For some reason, my cut and paste from there to here runs out of room and won't let me transfer it......

Y2K Focus: BMR Software
Daily commentary updated for October 23, 1997
The Y2K software world may soon be turned upside down by a 77 year old man named Bob Bemer.
Who is this guy?
On the "Software History Center" Website, Bob Bemer shows up in the hall of fame list as "one of the developers of COBOL and the ASCII naming standard." He also appears with a notation of "Current whereabouts unknown." Bemer, 77, retired in 1982, having left his mark in the history books. But if his current company, BMR Software, just six months old with six employees, lives up to its potential, Bemer's name may go into the history books all over again, as having the most universal, simple solution to the Y2K problem, with his Vertex 2000r product.
I find this staggering info as far as the potential impact on the y2k stock sector is concerned.
BTW, my programmer partner (the brains of our outfit) has maintained that something similar to this would happen. He said that if he took off a half year with several of his COBAL fluent compatriots they could resolve all this hullaballo over y2k....gggg.
Maybe Bri can send the article to the Idea thread.
BMR Software (the company) is NOT a public co and therefore stock can't be purchased.
