jwk -- y2k and IOM

Given that IOM has expended a great deal of resources in updating their IS infrastructure, it is doubtful that their 'production facilities' will be impacted by Y2K. It is not uncommon for corporations of this nature to put their their accounting departments further behind in the pecking order for coming into the new century, so if any of their departments will be affected it might be this one. But most assuredly not the manufacturing; this is far too important to them and likely to be at the top of the list.

>>"The exposure to parts / manufacturing disruption due to y2k difficulties, anywhere in the supply chain could easily be much bigger of an impact on sales an earnings than the bezel glitchwas."<<

Also, please be aware that whilst the Y2K 'problem' is indeed real, it is also a great opportunity to make people worry; to make people buy stock in supposed 'solution providers', and not necessarily as apocolyptic as some stock shills may wish you to believe. For a clearer picture on Y2K companies, you may wish to consult this thread:
